The 24 GMX experiments, conducted at the Nevada Test Site (NTSJ between December 1954 and February 1956, were ‘equation-of-state” physics studies that used small chemical explosives and small quantities of plutonium. Several tests conducted during Operation Dominic involved missile launches from Johnston Atoll. Several of these missile launches were aborted, resulting in the destruction of the missile and nuclear device either on the pad or in the air. On August 5, 1963, the United States and the Soviet Union signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty which effectively banned testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere. -

ICBM Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles
Questions 1. What was the difference in the objectives of Operation Sandstone, and Operation Dominic 2. What differentiates a “low altitude” test from a high altitude” test? 3. Name the two delivery systems for nuclear bombs developed by the US military industry ICBM Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles Launch, flight, and delivery of a modern Minuteman III ICBM Early planning and developments Germany invested successfully in long range missile systems during WW II in the believe to invest into a crucial weapon for final victory. However, the limitations in transport capabilities were too severe to allow sufficient load on explosive material. The production was limited, 3200 V2 missiles were employed, but the final impact on the war development was negligible. Assembly site Mittelwerk The Mittelwerk V-2 factory in Nordhausen, Thuringia produced some 4,575 V-2s between August, 1944 and March, 1945—the period in which these rockets were headed for firing batterys (as opposed, earlier on, to development testing). The workers were primarily recruited from concentration camps which were constructed nearby the production facilities. Estimates of the total number of prisoners in the complex at range between 40,000 and 64,000. It is estimated that of the 60,000+ detainees employed in and around the Mittelbau complex over a 20-month period, 26,500 did not survive. Many were shot by SS commands with the advance of the US army towards Nordhausen in March 1945. The precursor of modern ballistic missiles was the German V-2, a single-stage, fin- stabilized missile propelled by liquid oxygen and ethyl alcohol to a maximum range of about 200 miles.
