PDF-(READ)-Rockets and Missiles of Vandenberg AFB: 1957-2017

On December 16 1958 a Thor intermediaterange ballistic missile became the first rocket launch from Vandenberg AFB California Established from the remnants of a WWII and Korean War training base named Camp Cooke the USAF selected the location to operationally test intercontinentalrange ballistic missiles over the Pacific Ocean Over the decades Vandenberg has seen over 1900 launches of more than 70 varieties of rockets and missiles This book chronicles the launches by rocketmissile launchpad location and payload Many neverbeforeseen photographs illustrate the variety of space launch vehicles used to lift nationalsecurity satellites into orbit as well as the operational testing of the missiles used by United States nuclearalert forces The launches at Vandenberg helped drive the technological innovation and deterrence that helped the US win the Cold War.

WWII achievements: RADAR, A-bomb, missiles, computers. The Red Rockets Glare is the first academic study on the birth of the Soviet space program and one of the first social histories of Soviet science. Based on many years of archival research, the book situates the birth of cosmic enthusiasm within the social and cultural upheavals of Russian and Soviet history. Asif A. Siddiqi frames the origins of Sputnik by bridging imagination with engineering seeing them not as dialectic, discrete, and sequential but as mutable, intertwined, and concurrent. Imagination and engineering not only fed each other but were also co-produced by key actors who maintained a delicate line between secret work on rockets (which interested the military) and public prognostications on the cosmos (which captivated the populace). Sputnik, he argues, was the outcome of both large-scale state imperatives to harness science and technology and populist phenomena that frequently owed little to the whims and needs of the state apparatus.

On December 16, 1958, a Thor intermediate-range ballistic missile became the first rocket launch from Vandenberg AFB, California. Established from the remnants of a WWII and Korean War training base named Camp Cooke, the USAF selected the location to operationally test intercontinental-range ballistic missiles over the Pacific Ocean. Over the decades, Vandenberg has seen over 1,900 launches of more than 70 varieties of rockets and missiles. This book chronicles the launches by rocket/missile, launchpad location, and payload. Many never-before-seen photographs illustrate the variety of space launch vehicles used to lift national-security satellites into orbit, as well as the operational testing of the missiles used by United States nuclear-alert forces. The launches at Vandenberg helped drive the technological innovation and deterrence that helped the US win the Cold War.
