	Cape Canaveral Rocket and Missile Programs:
		Specifications for the Matador pilotless bomber, originally designated XB-61, were drafted in August, 1945, just prior to the conclusion of World War II.
		The Matador could carry a 3,000-pound conventional or nuclear warhead, and was designed to be launched from either a mobile ramp or hardened shelter.
		An upgraded Matador, designated TM-61B, added a Shanicle hyperbolic guidance system which increased the missile's range to a maximum of 500 miles.

	Matador
		The Matador B-61A "pilotless bomber" was a highly mobile system designed to deliver a warhead on tactical missions in support of ground troops for a distance of up to 960 km.
		The Matador utilized a solid propellant rocket bottle as a Rocket Assisted Takeoff (RATO) system to lift itself into the air from a "roadable" zero-length launcher.
		After the rocket burned out and dropped off, the Matador was powered to its target by an Allison J-33 turbojet engine.

	1 Wing - The Matador - Assorted Sources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Matador was a surface tactical missile designed to carry a conventional or a nuclear warhead.
		Originally designated as the B-61, the US Air Force's first "pilotless bomber," it was similar in concept to the World War II German V-1 "buzz bomb." The Matador was launched by a booster rocket from a mobile 40-foot trailer and was controlled electronically from the ground during flight.
		Development of the Matador began in August 1945 and the XB-61 was first launched on January 9, 1949.

		Propelled at launch by a rocket booster until it reached sufficient speed for its ramjets to operate, it was guided from the ground to the vicinity of its target at which time it came under control of an internal target seeker.
		An altitude rocket shot was planned and Oberth and Ley set to work to develop a suitable liquid-fuel motor as it was decided that here was a splendid opportunity to put into practice the principles which they had been advocating in their writing.
		The unguided 2.75 rockets, after all these years of use, are now being targeted as a possible cheap ($10,000) guided weapon for use against lesser targets where higher cost rockets such as the Hellfire is an overkill, the range is in excess of the 30 mm chain-gun and the old unguided 2.75 lacks accuracy.

	[4.0] The Missile Race Begins
		The V-2's rocket engine was the most powerful in the world at the time, but there was obvious room for improvement, for example in fuel injection.
		Earlier rocket engines, such as the V-2's, had featured "regenerative cooling", in which the nozzle was built with an inner and outer shell, with tubing for fuel threaded between the shells.
		Further research into synthetic rubber-based solid rocket fuels led to the development of materials that could be poured into rocket shells and cured to form a solid block, without shrinkage or gaps that would interfere with controlled combustion.

		The "Matador-A", to simplify the issue of what to call it, was a mid-sized pilotless aircraft, with a high-mounted swept wing and a tee tail.
		The Matador-A was radio-guided by an operator tracking it on radar from a beacon carried on the missile, and was fitted with a 50 kilotonne nuclear warhead, though some sources also state that it could be fitted with a high explosive warhead.
		The rocket engine developed for the booster stage was the basis for the rocket engines for the Atlas and Thor missiles, which were never much as weapons but proved to be outstanding space launch vehicles, and the work on the Navaho's INS led to operational INS systems for both missiles and submarines.

	Multiple Mars UAV Proposals Likely In Next Scout Competition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		MATADOR is trying to compensate for this by developing a UAV that could survive its landing on Mars and continue to relay data or perform other measurements on the surface.
		MATADOR would attempt to survive its landing by performing a pull-up maneuver and then falling almost vertically to the ground, belly-first.
		MATADOR is set to conduct a test flight high in Earth's atmosphere in August 2005, followed by one or more follow-up flights a year later.

	MGM-13 Mace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Martin Mace (designated as B-76 pilotless bomber until 1955, then as TM-76 tactical missile until 1963, then as MGM-13 for mobile-launched and CGM-13 for container-launched versions) is a tactical surface-to-surface missile developed from the MGM-1 Matador.
		Mace was launched from a mobile trailer or a hardened bunker using a solid fuel booster rocket for initial acceleration and an Allison J33 turbojet for flight.
		Engines: 1x Thiokol solid fuel booster rocket, 100,000 lbf (445 kN) thrust; 1x Allison J33-A-41 turbojet, 5,200 lbf thrust.

	THE GUIDANCE OF SPACE VEHICLES
		When a suitable combination of position and velocity is reached, the guidance system must immediately signal cutoff of the propulsion system-in fact, it must signal cutoff a little ahead of time on the basis of a prediction process to compensate for time lags in the operation of engine controls.
		Whether the rocket is an ICBM, a satellite launcher, or a launcher for a ballistic space vehicle, the powered flight guidance process is similar in all cases.
		If some rocket thrust is used (an ion rocket, for instance), the trajectory followed by the spacecraft will not be so simply determined as that of an unpowered vehicle, and more frequent measurements will be required for use in more elaborate guidance computations by automatic equipment.

		Both have risen from little indies -- Superchunk from Matador to Matador/Atlantic, Rocket from San Diego's Cargo onto Interscope, allegedly for an advance of $ 1 million -- but both are very much in the right place at the right time.
		Rocket From the Crypt is on a noisy post-Husker Du trip featuring two lead guitars, while Superchunk, displaying pop melodies over its noise and a female bassist, seems ready to step into the breach left by the late Pixies.
		Rocket From the Crypt was more polished, more metal and, with the addition of an inaudible sax player, arty.

		Rocket in the Pocket is by no means brilliant, but it's chock full of enough twisted beats, samples, and electronic noise to keep you guessing.
		As the song progresses, layer upon layer of noises, ranging from reverb-drenched otherworldly synthesizers to sampled pianos and saxophones, are added to the mix.
		Rocket in the Pocket is the kind of album that, by virtue of its individual sounds alone, makes a fun listen.

	Matador Records \| Console Biography
		As sound-o-naut for the Notwist, he stormed the charts, appearing from the almost mythical village of Weilheim in Bavaria, and now, as Console, he produces the coolest, deepest electro-sounds from the box.
		Rocket in the Pocket is the second Console album, and manages extreme funkiness without a 4-on-the-floor vibe.
		The title track is simple and moving toward commerciality, without compromising its complexity and conforming to the usual rigid formulas.

		Rocket Girl is a London based record label run by another great solo pioneer, Vinita Joshi.
		If you thought this was the case for all record labels, you'd be wrong, but then if all record labels were like Rocket Girl then that might not make too much sense either.
		Rocket Girl represents an Oasis of purity in a wicked world, a place where quiet voices get to have their say, where the scribbles on the margins of the page are revealed to be as important as the main text, and where beautiful noises reign supreme, regardless of their provenance.

	RFTC.com - Bio (Circa 1998)
		While Rocket was in every sense of the word a traditional Rock n Roll band, Drive Like Jehu focused on nineties indie rock post modernism, specifically churning out their own unique blend of math rock and emo-core.
		In an attempt to give something back to their fans who have kept them going on the underground level all these years, Rocket decides to embark on a free (yes, a free!) US tour in the fall of '95 coinciding with the release of the 9-song EP Hot Charity on their own label, Perfect Sound.
		In true Rocket fashion, it didn't take long to build up a new collection of tunes, and in September of 1997 they headed out to New York City to record what would become their latest album, RFTC.

	Mace - United States Nuclear Forces
		It was launched from a mobile trailer or from a bomb-proof shelter by a solid-fuel rocket booster which dropped away after launch; a J33 jet engine then powered the missile to the target.
		The Goodyear Aircraft Corporation developed ATRAN (Automatic Terrain Recognition And Navigation), a radar map-matching system) in which the return from a radar scanning antenna was matched with a series of "maps" carried on board the missile which corrected the flight path if it deviated from the film map.
		To enhance mobility, Martin designed the Mace's wings to fold for transport (the Matador's wings were transported separately and then bolted on for flight).

	Regulus I - United States Nuclear Forces
		Because most observers considered Matador to be about a year ahead of the Regulus, DOD ordered the Air Force to determine if Matador would indeed work, and BuAer to slow development of Regulus and fund a study to determine if Matador could be adapted for Navy use.
		Also, the Matador's single booster had to be fitted to the missile after it was on the launcher while, in contrast, the Regulus was stowed with its two boosters attached.
		This meant that in comparison to the Regulus, the Matador would require more men and machinery and that the submarine had to remain on the surface longer, thereby increasing its vulnerability to enemy action.

	Matador - United States Nuclear Forces
		In 1953, the USAF Project officer wrote that the "Martin Matador program was delayed excessively because of [Martin's] poor design, inadequate testing, and difficulty in retaining qualified people." Throughout its service, observers criticized the Matador for its low in-flight reliability, high CEPs, and questionable control over long distances.
		A 1956 study noted that USAF did not develop Matador according to procedures and military requirements, but rather devised the missile around existing components and techniques.
		Martin delivered the 1,000th Matador in mid-1957, but in 1959 a phase-out of the Matador began in favor of a more advanced version, the Martin "Mace." The Air Force deactivated the last unit, the 71st Tactical Missile Squadron, in April 1969 as the Army's Pershing missiles took over the Quick Reaction Alert Force role.
