Army Missile Funding Delays Slowing 1500 Mile Program
Maj. Gen. John B. Medaris testified before the Senate Preparedness subcommittee that funding gaps have slowed the Army Ballistic Missile Agency’s push to a 1500 mile missile. He said no high thrust engine is under development today, and the U S now does little work on a rocket engine rivaling Soviet capabilities. Medaris noted Army offers to launch an instrumented satellite were rejected, and that re entry tests have succeeded, including one nose cone recovered after ocean losses. He described Redstone development starting in 1954 with a range aim of 475 miles and cited AEC weight estimates for a multi ton warhead.
