	Jupiter (rocket)
		Subsequently, the Navy abandoned Jupiter in favor of the solid-fueled, submarine-based Polaris and the Jupiter was transferred to the Air Force.
		Jupiter components were test-flown aboard rockets known as Jupiter A and Jupiter C, which were not really Jupiters at all but rather modified Redstones.
		In 1955, a rocket nearly identical to the C was described in Project Orbiter.

		These Jupiter-C rockets were used to perform reentry nose cone test flights and to launch the Americas' early Explorer 1 and Explorer 3 satellites.
		The Saturn I and Saturn IB rockets were manufactured by using a single Jupiter IRBM rocket propellant tank, in combination with eight Redstone rocket propellant tanks clustered around it, to form a powerful first stage launch vehicle.
		Jupiter IRBM missiles were used in a series of suborbital biological test fights.

	Jupiter-C (rocket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The second stage is an outer ring of eleven scaled-down Sergeant rocket engines; the third stage is a cluster of three scaled-down Sergeant rockets grouped within.
		When used as a satellite launch vehicle, von Braun referred to the Jupiter-C as the Juno or Juno-I, to make it appear as peaceable as the Vanguard rocket, which was not a missile, that is, a weapon of war, but was developed from a weather study rocket.
		Calling a Redstone-based rocket a Jupiter to show that something was getting done for the money paid for the Jupiter project is typical of the changes-of-name that take place in military industries.

		Well the rocket engine is measured by it's specific impulse is a type of units, meaning thrust per the units of propellant consumes over time.
		If the fusion drive is about 300 times greater, it's like multiplying a typical rocket is about 450 seconds, means that the engine of the chemical rocket would produce 1 pound of the thrust from 1 pound of fuel for exactly 450 seconds.
		The fusion rocket used the hydrogen as a propellant, the propellant would be able to replenist itself to travel through space.

	Cape Canaveral Rocket and Missile Programs:
		Adapted from the Redstone MRBM as a follow-up to the Jupiter A, the Jupiter C rocket was developed as a test vehicle to evaluate Jupiter IRBM nosecone technology, including various shapes, sizes and materials.
		Like the Juno I, the Jupiter C clustered second and third stages were housed inside a distinctive rotating "tub", spin-stabilized at several hundred revolutions per minute (actual spin rate depended on the weight of the payload) during ascent.
		Jupiter C processing was going smoothly due to the earlier directives by Medaris, but a major change was in store for the rocket.

	Explorer Information
		The satellite was launched from Cape Canaveral (now Cape Kennedy) in Florida at 10:48 P.M. EST on 31 January 1958 by the Jupiter-C vehicle--a special modification of the Redstone ballistic missile--that was designed, built, and launched by the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) under the direction of Dr. Wernher Von Braun.
		Jupiter-C, a direct descendant of the German A-4 (V-2) rocket, was originally developed in 1955-1956 as a high-performance rocket for testing purposes.
		The Jupiter-C rocket was originally developed to test the ablative re-entry nose cone of the Jupiter IRBM, although its satellite-launching capabilities were recognized at the time it was designed.

	Space Scientist Proposes New Model For Jupiter's Core
		Jupiter's core was believed to be a massive snowball that formed in the cold reaches of the outer solar nebula, the gas and dust cloud from which the solar system formed.
		Jupiter's core formed rapidly relative to the rate at which gas was lost from the solar nebula.
		But Jupiter is enriched in carbon, and Lodders notes that there is much evidence for carbon being locked up in organic material on outer solar system planets, comets, and meteorites, and the interstellar medium from which our solar system originated.

	Tethers To Power Europan Exploration
		Images sent back by the Galileo spacecraft orbiting Jupiter show that Europa is covered with sheets of ice that move, break open, and expose slush and possibly liquid water.
		By reducing the amount of propellant needed once the spacecraft arrives at Jupiter, or the size of the electrical power system, the cost of the spacecraft also can be reduced, and it can be launched with a smaller, cheaper rocket.
		Jupiter is a bit more of a challenge, Gallagher explained.

	Clavius: Technology - beating the soviets
		The Jupiter was an extension of von Braun's V2/A4 rocket developed for the Nazis, and there was quite a lot of opposition to using it to launch America's first satellite.
		And so it fell to the Navy Vanguard rocket, which was not yet up to such a task but had the political advantage of having been built exclusively by Americans.
		When Explorer I was launched, it was launched on a Jupiter rocket which had been ready in the wings for more than a year.

		The tank mass fraction is then used (iteratively) in the rocket equation to determine the amount of propellant needed for the mission.
		The 10,000 ton useful payload used in the rocket equation is therefore diminished by 111 tons water extraction and processing hardware, 190 tons of water bladder armoring and 598 tons of engines.
		The rocket equation for a 6800 m/s delta V mission using LH2 NTR, with tank factor 0.01 tons tank per ton propellant and specific impulse 830 seconds gives a LH2 requirement of 13,200 tons.

	New method Speeds Space Mission Planning
		Spacecraft traveling to Jupiter, its moons and other bodies in the solar system can't simply make a beeline to those places because a direct path would require too much fuel and rocket power.
		When the Europa spacecraft reaches Jupiter, which is about 483 million miles from Earth, a rocket will be fired to prevent it from sailing past the Jovian system and to place it into an orbit around the planet.
		While the trip from Earth to Jupiter will take about three years, it will take about two additional years before the spacecraft is finally in its proper orbit around Europa.

		Jupiter's rapid rotation, intense magnetic field, and an abundant source of particles from its volcanically active moon, Io, create a huge reservoir of electrons and ions.
		These charged particles, trapped in Jupiter's magnetic field, are continually accelerated down into the atmosphere above the polar regions where they collide with gases to produce the aurora, which are almost always active on Jupiter.

		The Cluster was spin-stabilized and mounted on the Redstone's nose.
		The orbital Jupiter C's were designated Juno I. Unfortunately the available records at JPL for these launches are patchy and I'm not certain of the Cluster unit serial number for the historic Explorer I launch, but one diagram gives the designation 'RTV-7'.
		Following the final Juno I launch, the JPL Cluster was used as an upper stage to the Jupiter rocket, the combination being known as Juno II.

		To this is attached a tiny thermal rocket, about the size of a fist, and a tiny nuclear reactor, or few square meters of mirror, which concentrates sunlight on the rocket engine.
		The cylinder is then attached to the small rocket engine, whose tiny thrust over the course of two or three years delivers the payload to a variety of destinations: orbits around the Earth, Jupiter, or Mars, the surface of Earth's Moon, or to asteroids.
		Bootstrapping of transporation with native ice rockets and industry with chemical microreactors and self-reproducing greenhouses blazes a wide path along fertile territory, leading to the technological and economic resources for large-scale space industry and space colonization.

	History of J5R
		About a year later, Bob G.'s Rocket No.2 was getting up around 250k miles, which in itself is not necessarily a problem, but the underpinnings were truly Swiss cheese at this point, the car having endured and finally succumb to a prolonged salt attack test between New England, and college in Iowa.
		Bob ran Rocket No.3 (his only), as he had those which came before it, keeping it in fine mechanical order, but definitely operating it in the "Drive it like you Hate it" [remember that old Volvo ad?] mode, while doing service in Connecticut and later the Chicago area.
		It was also during this period, in an ongoing engineering effort, that Rocket No.3 received one of the first of the newer (internally solid state regulated) Delco-Remy alternator upgrades, and with it, became one of the development test beds and extended Beta site for what was further developed into the now popular SwEm kit.

	This New Ocean - Ch6-6
		The Jupiter rocket had been selected to boost a full-scale capsule to about 16,000 feet per second, a velocity midway between the capacities of Little Joe and Redstone (6000 feet per second), and of Atlas (25,000 feet per second).
		By mid-February it was apparent that a development program for rocket hardware, even of such limited scope and relative simplicity as the Little Joe booster, demanded a far more sophisticated management organization than either Langley or the Task Group had envisioned.
		Although the Scout, as a Langley project, was not an integral part of STG's activities in Project Mercury, the Task Group held open the possibility of using this simple and relatively inexpensive rocket to launch scale models of the Mercury configuration and to probe for further critical data on heat transfer and stability.
