Description
Jupiter-C was a Redstone missile with stretched tanks and clusters of small solid rockets on top, first built to test nose cones for the Jupiter missile. Flown as Juno I, it launched Explorer 1 on 31 January 1958, the first American satellite and the one that found the Van Allen radiation belts.
It was built by Wernher von Braun’s team at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency in Huntsville, Alabama, and the launch came less than four months after Sputnik. This illustration was first made for a commission from the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center in Los Angeles.
