	Little Joe
		When Project Mecury began in October 1958, the purposeof the Little Joe phase was to propel a full-scale, full-weight developmental version of the manned spacecraft to some of the flight conditions that would be encountered during exit from the atmosphere on an orbital mission.
		The Little Joe launch vehicle was 48 feet in height, weighed (at maximum) 41,330 pounds, was 6.66 feet in diameter, consisted of four Pollux and four Recruit clustered, solid-fuel rockets, could develop a thrust of 250,000 pounds, and could lift a maximum payload of 3,942 pounds.
		Little Joe 1-A (LJ-1A) was launched in a test for a planned abort under high aerodynamic load conditions.

	Little Joe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Little Joe was a booster rocket used in the United States space flight program, as well as the name of a subprogram within Project Mercury comprising test flights using that booster.
		The primary mission objectives for Little Joe as seen in late 1958 (in addition to studying the capsule dynamics at progressively higher altitudes) were to test the capsule escape system at maximum dynamic pressure, to qualify the parachute system, and to verify search and retrieval methods.
		The engineers who mothered Little Joe to maturity knew it was not much to look at, but they fondly hoped that their ungainly rocket would prove the legitimacy of most of the ballistic capsule design concepts, thereby earning its own honor.

		It has very little atmosphere and is blazing hot during the day, but in 1991 scientists at Caltech bounced radio waves off Mercury and found an unusual bright return from the north pole.
		The apparent brightening at the north pole could be explained by ice on or just under the surface.
