Does anyone remember the Navaho missile?
Film footage: http://tinyurl.com/ztmxeqg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IElnBqHI-hE The booster engine was redesigned to become the engine for the Redstone, later for the Saturn 1. So this one of Apollo-Saturn ancestors. Officially, the program was canceled on 13 July 1957, after the first four launches ended in failure. In reality the program was obsolete by mid-1957 as the first Atlas ICBM began flight tests in June and the Jupiter and Thor IRBMs were showing great promise. These ballistic missiles however would not have been possible without the liquid fuel rocket engine developments accomplished in the Navaho program. |

It's cancellation was a real blow to the work force at North American. They said that people were lined up in the halls getting their pink slips. Took a while to recover from the cancellation.

NA wasn't down for long. The X-15, XB-70, and GAM-77 (Hound Dog) soon followed. The Navaho's lines can clearly be seen on the Hound Dog |
