	Jupiter IRBM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.
		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".

	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.
		Although it eventually became the first operational American IRBM, the Jupiter was never given much attention by the Air Force as it competed directly with the Air Force-developed Thor.
		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.

		The Jupiter was the direct descendant of the Army's Redstone, a tactical-range ballistic missile with a range of 150 miles.
		The Jupiter C was an elongated Redstone with clusters of scaled-down Sergeant rockets forming the second and third stages.
		The ABMA was never able to convince the Pentagon that Jupiter was superior to Thor, and neither was it able to reverse Secretary Wilson's November 1956 ruling barring the Army from operating long-range missiles.

		The U.S. had begun to deploy 15 Jupiter IRBM (intermediate-range ballistic missiles) nuclear missiles near Izmir, Turkey, which directly threatened cities in the western sections of the Soviet Union.
		In the late 1950's missile technology was well developed in the field of medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs), as opposed to ICBMs which could not be kept in a state of readiness at all times.

	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.

	Jupiter IRBM Chronology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Following Navy withdrawal from the Jupiter IRBM program, separate Army and Navy Ballistic Missile Committees were established under chairmanship of respective service secretaries.
		The 36th will be responsible for maintaining and launching the Jupiter IRBM's based in Italy in conjunction with USAF personnel that control the nuclear warheads.
		Re question of removal Jupiters accompanied by stationing of Polaris submarines in area, doubt whether mere deployment Polaris would be attractive to Turks since they really would have no say in use of Polaris in time of crisis and they turned down similar proposal in April 1961.

		The liquid-fuel Jupiter IRBM was a follow-on to the Redstone, a missile with a range of 150 miles and capable of carrying a nuclear warhead developed under the direction of Dr. Werner von Braun at the Army's Ordnance Guided Missile Center (OGMC) in the early 1950s.
		An extended Jupiter served as the booster stage for the Juno II, a rocket used by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to launch satellites from 1958-1961.
		This Jupiter model was acquired by NASM from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in 1971.

		First Jupiter C (a three-stage ABMA-JPL Redstone missile) was launched at Cape Canaveral, Fla., attained an altitude of 1096 km and traveled 5,300 km downrange.
		The second three-stage re-entry missile, was launched at 0255 hours EST from AMR to test the thermal behaviour of a scaled-down version of the Jupiter nose cone during re-entry.

	Jupiter - United States Nuclear Forces
		Despite subsequent techical progress, by 1957 the JUPITER program was in a precarious position, following the Navy's withdrawal from the program in late 1956 and the Secretary of Defense's November 1956 decision to limit the Army's responsibility to missiles having ranges of 200 miles or less.
		The United States and Italy concluded an arrangement to base Jupiters in that Mediterranean nation in March 1958 and Italian crews began training in the United States in May 1959.
		The Army originally planned that Jupiter would be a mobile missile; a road-transportable weapon that could be moved from one location to another in a matter of hours.

		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.
