Atlas Launch Attempts and Moon rocket Tests at Cape
Atlas sits on its launch platform as a red danger light signals liquid oxygen fueling Vanguards tank. A later plume shows vapor at the base during a test run. Another launch window, mid January, aims to send a satellite aloft aboard the T2 fast Vanguard after a Dec 6 explosion. The Army is ordered to attempt a Jupiter C satellite injection, though readiness remains unconfirmed. Thor platform activity and four Atlas missiles at the Test Center suggest a heavy firing schedule this month.
