 | | Date: Sun, 4 Jun 1995 10:32:01 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Operation ARGUS After writing an article about the X-Planes for the Polish aviation magazine "Lotnictwo", I did a little more research on Lockheed's X-17 rockets, which were later also used in the test program 'Operation Argus', involving exo-atmospheric nuclear explosions. |
 | | For ARGUS II, twelve sounding rockets were launched, between August 30 and September 2, 1958, five from Wallops Island, four from Patrick AFB, and three from Ramey AFB. |
 | | Three additional launch attempts, carrying the ARGUS radiation measurement payload, were conducted on August 25, August 26 and August 28, but also failed to reach orbit. |
