Eight Types of Mighty U.S. Rockets
Capable of War, Put to Peaceful Uses
Cape Canaveral, Fla. - OiPIl
-America's ballistic missiles
are cast in a role perhaps
unique in history-weapons of
war serving simultaneously
as instruments of peace
The U.S. has developed
eight types of mighty rockets
capable of delivering in one
blow a nuclear punch of de
struction surpassing all the
bombs dropped by both tides
during both world wars.
The names read like pages
from mythology and history
books-Atlas, Titan and Min
uteman, the giant intercontin
ental ballistic missiles (1CBM)
-Thor and Jupiter, interme
diate range weapons (1RBM)
- Polaris, an 1RBM to be
launched from a submerged
submarine: Pershing, a selec
tive-range ballistic missile,
and Skybolt, an air-launched
1RBM.
. But at least three-Atlas, Ju
piter and Thor-have become
equally well-known to the
world for their ability to toss
satellites into orbit around
the earth and sun. A fourth,
Titan, will become the na
tion's mightiest space rocket
before the end of the year.
Minuteman, Polaris and
Pershing are solid-fueled mis
sites with no space roles as
yet. But the National Aero
nautics and Space Adminis
tration and the Department of
Defense are at work on plans
to use solid-fueled rockets in
space research.
Other plans have been sug
gested to launch satellites
from planes in the skies - a
job which might go to the
1,500-mile Skybolt.
For many months to come,
Thor will remain the work
horse of the U.S. space boost
er corps, The rocket, already
on duly in England as a mili
tary weapon, is given stages
that enable it to throw up to
300 pounds of payload into
orbit.
These rockets are the
famed Thor-Able, Thor-Able-Star
and Thor-Delta. During
the next seven months, they
will fire at least three satel
lites towards orbits around
earth - Tiros II weather satel
lite, Transit 2-A navigational
satellite and Echo II 100-foot
balloon communications satel
lite. Communication Meant
Thor - based rockets also
may be selected for the job
of getting the first two pro
totypes of the Army's Cour
ier satellite into orbit. Cour
ier will give the U.S. armed
forces a means of communica
tions with overseas bases by
messages tape-recorded in
space.
Atlas, America's mightiest
war-ready rocket, is capable
of hauling multi-ton nuclear
payloads over distances up to
9,000 miles. In its peacetime
role, it is the most powerful
space booster available to
this country at present.
An Atlas-Agena threw a
5,000-pound Midas II satellite
into orbit recently. By the end
of 1960, it will send other pro
totype oT Midas, an early
warning defense satellite, and
S a m o s, a reconnaissance
moonlet, into polar orbits
from Vandenberg Air Force
Base, Calif.
Atlases in combination
with the smaller Able stages
so familiar with Thor will at
tempt two probes of the
moon - one in August or Sep
tember, the other in Novem
ber. At least one will attempt
to take pictures of the far side
of the moon's surface and re
lay the photos to earth via
television.
Slated for Atlat
A more powerful upper
stage, Centaur, is slated for
Atlas by late next year. Mean
while, the Titan ICBM-riding
a string of six successful mil
itary flights here - is being
primed for a space shot this
year.
Sources said Titan can
send about 11,000 pounds into
orbit around earth - 5,000
pounds of instruments and
6,000 pounds of empty casing
-without modification.
The federal space agency
will use the Juno II, an "old
reliable" in the American
space force, for a series of
five scientific exploratory
shots starting in about Au
gust or September.

In the military field, Atlas,
Thor and Jupiter are combat
ready, and Polaris and Tiian
will reach that stage by the
end of 1960, if all goes well.
Minuteman should become op
erational by 1962, as will
Pershing. Skybolt, now In the
planning stage, will com
shortly thereafter.
