	Jupiter IRBM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Jupiter IRBM was also modified by adding upper stages, in the form of clustered Sergent rockets, to create a satellite/space probe launch vehicle.
		Aboard Jupiter IRBM AM-18, were a 7 pound (3.2 kg) American born rhesus monkey, "Able" and an 11 ounce (310 g) South American squirrel monkey, "Baker".
		The monkeys rode in the nose cone of the missile to an altitude of 360 miles (579 km) and a distance of 1,700 miles (2,700 km) down the Atlantic Missile Range from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

	Thor (rocket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the perks of the design was that, unlike the Jupiter IRBM, the Thor was able to be carried by the USAF's cargo aircraft of the time, which made its deployment more rapid, although the launch facilities were not transportable, and had to be built on site.
		The Thor was a stop-gap measure, however, and once the first generation of ICBMs based in the United States became operational, the Thor missiles were quickly retired.
		The first flight of the Thor IRBM was on 25 January 1957.

		In IRBM, the total river catchmen area is taken into account, acknowledging the interdependencies between all ecosystems within the watershed.
		IRBM is based on still existing or re-established local management systems, and subsequently expands to river basin level.
		That is why another important objective of IRBM is to respect the ecological integrity of the entire river basin.

	The Challenges of Integrated River Basin Management in India
		Integrated River Basin Management (IRBM) is a powerful concept, and will increasingly dominate natural resources management discussions in both the North and the South.
		In most cases, these institutional models are not designed to handle the hydrogeology, demography, socioeconomics and the organization of the water sector found in the developing world.
		IRBM discussions have tended to focus on 'blue water'-the water resources tapped from rivers, lakes, or aquifers-and to ignore 'green water'-rain and soil-moisture.

		Moreover, due to population growth and overexploitation, the demands made on the river basin are increasing and the basins' capacity to meet these demands is decreasing.
		Integrated River Basin Management (IRBM) is a concept that is nowadays receiving increasing attention to develop and manage large river basins.
		The training is targeted at professional staff working in IRBM related fields with government organisations, consultancy firms, universities and NGO's.

		All were to be afforded the highest national priority, with a qualifying stipulation that the IRBM’s were not to interfere with ICBM development.
		The Army, in cooperation with the Navy, was to develop IRBM Nr 2 to achieve an early land- and sea-based capability.
		Rather than being a partner with the Air Force for the development of a land-based IRBM, the Army team and now been assigned the responsibility of developing an IRBM that was responsive to land and sea requirement.

	Cape Canaveral Rocket and Missile Programs:
		In addition to giving the U.S. Air Force a potent weapon to augment its ballistic missile arsenal, the Thor IRBM laid an important foundation for the U.S. space program as it formed the basis of the long-lived Delta rocket family.
		Since the U.S. Air Force was now authorized to, in effect, compete with the U.S. Army in the development of an IRBM weapons system, a fierce rivalry between these two branches of service erupted.
		With some of the intensity in the rivalry between the U.S. Air Force and ABMA thus reduced, the Thor was granted the highest national priority alongside the Atlas ICBM.

	The Avalon Project : The Cuban Missile Crisis
		We now believe that the primary purpose of the deployment of ground and surface-to-air units was to defend Cuba as a whole as a strategic base.
		The initial deployment of MRBM and IRBM units was also to western Cuba (San Cristobal and Guanajay), with construction equipment arrivals beginning in mid-August for the IRBM sites, and in mid-September for the missile equipment associated with the MRBM units.
		We have found no evidence to suggest that additional units were programmed, except for the missing IRBM site at Remedios, but we are reexamining available evidence to see if any indications can be found of preliminary work for such installations.

	Agni [Strategic Ballistic Missile]
		The Agni's manoeuvring RV is made of a carbon-carbon composite material that is light and able to sustain high thermal stresses of re-entry, in a variety of trajectories.
		IRBM velocity is 2.5 times smaller than GTO flight.
		IRBM's ballistic flight is in earth's gravity (1 to 0.6G), while GSLV sees only 25% of it powered flight and thus very sensitive to propulsion error.

		Andrews provided some rather optimistic ranges for his IRBM; given the warheads of the time they were improbable.
		Below is shown outlines of 5 vehicles: Black Knight single stage, Black Knight two stage, Black Arrow, the proposed IRBM, and the satellite launcher which Andrews proposed as an alternative to the Black Arrow design, based on the IRBM.
