Hi Story of the Redstone Missile System HI STORY OF THE REDSTONE MISSILE SYSTEM John W. Bullard -. Issued by: Helen Brents Joiner Chief, Historical Division Administrative Office Army Missile Command 15 October 1965 Historical Monograph Project Number: AMC 23 M PREFACE This volume tells the story of the Redstone Field Artillery Missile System, the first large ballistic missile system developed by the Department of the Army. Space and time limitations obviously have required the author to focus on main themes of the Redstone's history at the expense of interesting sidelights. And since many reports and other documents have already been written on the technical aspects of the program, the author has chosen to place less emphasis there in order to present more elsewhere. The aim has been to give a broad, general picture of the Redstone's advancement of missilery. Using a chronological framework, the author has followed the story of the Redstone system from its beginning, as an idea, through its ' design, development, production, deployment, deactivation, and finally, its rettrement. Certain special uses of the system have also been treated. Although others have contributed advice and assistance in the preparation of this work, the basic responsibility for analysis of data, accuracy of interpretation, and choice of expression has rested with the author. 15 October 1965 John W.

Army Missile Command . vii CHAPTER I AN EXPANDING MISSILE PROGRAM For over 20 years, the Department of the Army has been engaged in guided missile, ballistic missile ,2 and rocket3 programs in seeking the development of more flexible, versatile, and accurate weapon systems to fulfill roles prescribed by the doctrines of modern warfare. Of these new weapons, the Redstone became better known to the American public than any other because of its relationship to the American space pro- gram. However, as often happens, the resulting publicity overshadowed its raison d1@treas an Army tactical weapon system. Comparatively few of the numerous articles, papers, and reports written about the Redstone properly placed it as only one of a series of projected steps within the framework of the Department of the Army's missile research and de- velopmect program. And this was precisely where the Redstone's contri- butions to missile technology were of greatest significance. 1 "Guided missile-an unmanned vehicle moving above the earth's surface, whose trajectory or flight path is capable of being altered by a mechanism within the vehicle." Army Information Di~est,Vol. 11, No. 12, (Dec 1956), p. 66. allist is tic missile-a vehicle whose flight path from termination of thrust to impact has essentially zero lift. It is subject to gravi- tation and drag, and may or may not perform maneuvers to modify or to correct the flight path." Ibid., p. 64. 3f1~ocket-a thrust-producing system or a complete missile which derives Its thrust from ejection of hot gases generated from material carried in the system, not requiring intake of air or water." Ibid., p. 67. The Redstone occupied a unique position in the Department of the ~rmy'smissile program. While it was not the first surface-to-surface 7 missile system developed for combat use (the Corporal was earlier), it better represented the highly accurate and reliable weapon system that . - b the Ordnance Department was seeking when it established a missile re- 4 d search and development program in 1944. The Redstone also better re- * flected the foresight of the Department of the ~rmyIs early missile program planners. They laid the groundwork that made possible the ~edstone's successes when they foresaw step-by-step progress through basic and applied research as the means of achieving a successful mis- sile development program. Because the Redstone program was caught up in the kaleidoscopic patterns of the Department of the Army's missile program and because its significant contributions to that program had far-reaching after- effects, its history cannot be treated as a separate entity. Rather, its story, in many respects, becomes an account of the Department of the Army's entire program to develop surface-to-surface missiles as tactical weapons. It must be considered in light of the ever-changing patterns of that program. Because it was a product largely built from components proven in earlier research and because its -builders' knowl- edge of missile technology was acquired, to a great extent, through earlier projects, the ~edstone's story began with the establishment of the Department of the Army's missile research and development program. 4Maj Gen H. N. Toftoy, "Army Missile Development," Ibid., p. 22. Establishing the Army Missile Program Guided missile and rocket development began in earnest within the Department of the Army in September 1943 when the Technical Division of the Office, Chief of Ordnance established a Rocket Branch. "This new organization indicated that rockets and guided missiles were now consid- ered members of the ~rm~'sfamily of weapons which would be centrally managed in the same manner as small arms, artillery, ammunition, and Fort.unately for the Department of the Army, wisdom prevailed with- in the Ordnance Department as it established the principles that were to direct the comprehensive program of developing guided missiles to

  • Trade Studies Towards an Australian Indigenous Space Launch System
    TRADE STUDIES TOWARDS AN AUSTRALIAN INDIGENOUS SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Engineering by Gordon P. Briggs B.Sc. (Hons), M.Sc. (Astron) School of Engineering and Information Technology, University College, University of New South Wales, Australian Defence Force Academy January 2010 Abstract During the project Apollo moon landings of the mid 1970s the United States of America was the pre-eminent space faring nation followed closely by only the USSR. Since that time many other nations have realised the potential of spaceflight not only for immediate financial gain in areas such as communications and earth observation but also in the strategic areas of scientific discovery, industrial development and national prestige. Australia on the other hand has resolutely refused to participate by instituting its own space program. Successive Australian governments have preferred to obtain any required space hardware or services by purchasing off-the-shelf from foreign suppliers. This policy or attitude is a matter of frustration to those sections of the Australian technical community who believe that the nation should be participating in space technology. In particular the provision of an indigenous launch vehicle that would guarantee the nation independent access to the space frontier. It would therefore appear that any launch vehicle development in Australia will be left to non- government organisations to at least define the requirements for such a vehicle and to initiate development of long-lead items for such a project. It is therefore the aim of this thesis to attempt to define some of the requirements for a nascent Australian indigenous launch vehicle system.

  • Retrieving Woomera's Heritage: Recovering Lost Examples of the Material Culture of Australian Space Activities
    Kerrie Dougherty Retrieving Woomera's heritage: recovering lost examples of the material culture of Australian space activities Introduction Woomera Rocket Range. Once it was a name to conjure with, carrying all the mystique of Cold War secrecy coupled with the excitement of space exploration. Yet today, the site where Australia joined the 'space club', where both Britain and Europe made their first attempts at developing an independent launch capability, is largely abandoned and virtually forgotten by younger generations ofAustralians, who associate Woomera only with a controversial US military tracking stationI and, most recently, an equally controversial detention centre for illegal immigrants.2 Established in 1947 as the long-range weapons test facility of the Anglo-Australian Joint Project, Woomera was born out of Britain's Cold War desire to develop its own missile systems and nuclear deterrent. Unable to test such weapons adequately within the narrow confines of the United Kingdom and its surrounding waters, Britain sought a secure test range within the Commonwealth and ultimately selected a location in the remote outback of South Australia which offered huge tracts of virtually uninhabited desert over which to fly missiles, drop bombs and, later (though this was not immediately in the minds of the initial developers), launch rockets into space. Woomera, at its greatest extent, was the largest overland weapons test range in the Western world, and - at one point - the busiest. Over the lifetime of the Joint Project (1947-80)3 more than 4000 British, European, American and Australian missiles and rockets and 3000 bombs and other weapons4 were launched and tested there, for both military and civilian purposes (Figure 1).

  • Heracles and the Foundings of Sparta and Rome
    Heracles and the Foundings of Sparta and Rome A Thesis by Nicholas Granitz Advised by Dr. Edith Foster Assisted by Drs. Burkett and Levithan In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts and the Ashbrook Statesmanship Thesis and Honors Capstone Project Ashland University, Ashland, Ohio 2011 Submitted November 29th, 2011 Nicholas Granitz Abstract This thesis finds that both the Spartans and the Romans consciously adopted Heracles as a model for their societies. This adoption is seen both through their historical actions and, especially, in their founding myths, which identify the city’s founders with Heracles. Although the argument relies on previous scholarly work interpreting the character of Heracles, several connections, especially those in the Sparta chapter, are original arguments for Heracles’ relevance in founding mythology. A close analysis of the Twelve Labors of Heracles is the foundation for my arguments. The analysis of Sparta relies on the works of Tyrtaeus, Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, and Plutarch. The analysis of Rome relies on the works of Fabius Pictor, Virgil, Livy, and Plutarch. Secondary sources were also important, especially the writings of G. Karl Galinsky, whose work is influential throughout the thesis. 2 Nicholas Granitz Table of Contents Introduction 04 Chapter One: Heracles 07 Chapter Two: Sparta and Heracles 37 Chapter Three: Rome and Hercules 55 Conclusion 71 Works Cited 77 I am indebted to Dr. Edith Foster, Dr. Chris Burkett, and my family and friends for making the completion of this thesis possible.

    JUNO’S PEACOCK Or the Eyes have it Newsletter of the Wesleyan University Department of Classical Studies Issue 16 Summer 2011 When Argus, the hundred-eyed guard animal (and also the name of Wesleyan’s student newspaper) was killed by Hermes (Jupiter’s hit-man, and the name of Wesleyan’s alternative campus paper), some part of him survived death. His eyes were saved by Juno and set in the tail of her peacock. Argus, you lie low; the light you had in so many eyes is extinguished, And your hundred points of light are now all dark.
