Summary

Description
English: A Mercury-Redstone launch vehicle awaits test-firing in the Redstone Test Stand circa 1960. Between 1953 and 1960, the rocket team at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama performed hundreds of test firings on Redstone rockets, with over 200 on the Mercury-Redstone vehicle configuration alone. It was this configuration which launched the United States' first two manned space missions, Freedom 7 and Liberty Bell 7, in 1961.
