Test firing of two stage Bumper rocket at Cocoa Florida
A two stage bumper rocket launched at the Long Range Proving Ground in Cocoa Florida marks the first horizontal test flight for this guided missile program. The German V-2 main stage with 10 tons of fuel fired vertically then turned horizontal by a gyroscopic device. A 700 pound WAC Corporal payload rode on the nose and both craft relayed data to base by radio. The V-2 would land at sea while the Corporal continued, with potential flight down to about 250 miles. This eighth launch follows a previous test that fizzled when a fuel pump failed. that apparatus has been disassembled and inspected ahead of a planned Saturday firing.
