Summary
| Description |
English: The Mercury-Redstone Booster Development (MR-BD) flight lifts off from Cape Canaveral on March 24, 1961. This test flight evaluated changes incorporated in the booster designed to reduce vehicle oscillations and vibrations. The Mercury-Redstone launch vehicle was developed by Dr. Wernher von Braun and the rocket team at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. (The truck parked next to the launch stand was unmanned and asbestos-protected; it was there to test how a Mercury-Redstone launch would affect the remote-controlled mobile aerial tower vehicle ("cherry-picker") used with manned launches as an alternate means for the astronaut to escape in an emergency.) |
