Talk:Jupiter-C

message: "Calling a Redstone-based rocket a Jupiter to show that something was getting done for the money paid for the Jupiter project is typical of the changes-of-name that take place in military industries."  I'm not so sure about this... it seems a little POV'd, and not really on target for the Jupiter-C rocket article.  If there's no response, I'll go ahead and delete.Sjcodysseus 05:16, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The date of the maiden flight in the table differs from that in the main article.
RE: The date in the maiden table refers to the first orbital flight, which isn't clearly labeled.  Also, the burnout time listed in the table (120 s) refers to the burnout time of the original Redstone without the increased tankage.  It's not clear which of the two figures given in the text (155 s and 157 s) is correct, but I can say that 155 seconds is the amount of time the Rocketdyne engine would take to burn all of the fuel at 100% throttle.

thread_title:  Confusion between [[Juno I]] and [[Jupiter-C]] 

message: The Jupiter C was created to perform nose cone development for the Jupiter IRBM. "Several of these rockets were assembled, but only three were flown as Jupiter reentry test vehicles (RS-27 on 20 September 1956, RS-34 on 15 May 1957, and RS-40 on 8 August 1957)." " Eighty-four days later, on 31 January 1958, the Army Ballistic Missile Agency launched the first U.S. satellite-Explorer I-into orbit. Following this successful launch, five more of these modified Jupiter-C missiles (subsequently redesignated Juno I) were launched in attempts to place additional Explorer satellites in orbit. Three of these attempts ended in failure. They were: Explorer II, RS-26, on 5 March 1958; Explorer V, RS-47, on 24 August 1958; and Explorer VI, RS-49, on 23 October 1958 The other two successful ones were Explorer III, RS~24, on 26 March 1958 and Explorer IV, RS-44, on 26 July 1958."

That is there were nine Jupiter C/Juno I launches Mark Lincoln (talk) 18:26, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scope of the Jupiter C program 

message: First the name of the Jupiter C's engine was 75-110-A-7. "A-7" was just a nickname. http://www.enginehistory.org/Museums/USSRC/USSRC_Redstone.shtml
Most Jupiter C's had four stages. The first three Jupiter Cs  were limited to 3 in order to keep the Army from launching a satellite. "For these tests, the Agency used the composite
rocket, first proposed for use in Project Orbiter. . . The final stage, intended to orbit a satellite in its former configuration, was replaced by a scaled-down Jupiter nose cone."
