Abstract | This paper was presented at the Twenty-first Annual National Conference of the Society of Aeronautical Weight Engineers at Seattle, Washington, May 14-17, 1962. Between August 1958 and December 1960, several multi-stage vehicles were launched from Cape Canaveral. They had various satellite and space probe missions. These vehicles, assembled by Space Technology Laboratories and sponsored by ARPA, the Air Force and NASA, were designated Able 1 through Able 5. They used Thor of Atlas first stages, Aerojet liquid second stages and Allegany Ballistics Laboratory solid third stages. Some of the spacecraft or payloads had propulsion units, others did not. |
