[1][2][3] It evolved from its predecessor, Bèrènice, with development initiated in 1965 to support the ELECTRE reentry experiment program.
[1][4][3] Tibère, standing at a height of 14.5 m and weighing 4.5 tons, operated as a three-stage rocket.
[2] The first stage comprised a SEPR-739-2 Stromboli, that, similar to Bèrènice and Titus, was encircled by four SEPR-P167 stabilization rockets.
[1] The Cassiopée attitude control system precisely oriented the composite before the P.064 motor accelerated it to high speed during descent from 130 to 60 km altitude.
[1] Despite the procurement of four Tibère units, only two flights were executed from Biscarrosse, occurring on February 23, 1971, and March 18, 1972.
