Summary

Description
English: Liftoff of the Little Joe 5A spacecraft on March 6, 1961 from Wallops Island.
Editorial note: The caption given at the source page is in error, and is the correct caption for image S61-01226. This is visibly identifiable as a Little Joe launch vehicle, and not a Mercury-Atlas. The image is identified correctly in the older JSC archive, at [1], however this original caption (given above) is also in error, as the launch was on March 18, 1961, not March 6th. This error is also present in the original captions for other images of this launch, and has been corrected in the 'modern' captions for other images. The error was apparently due to that the "Technical Information Summary" for the upcoming launch was released by the Space Task Group on March 6th. See http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4201/ch10-6.htm
