Summary
| Description |
English: Photograph of presentation model of Pegasus satellite launcher. Model built by Topping Models for the Martin Company.
In 1961, the Martin Company proposed a satellite launch system based on the Pershing missile system. Named Pegasus, it would have had a lighter, simplified guidance section and a short third stage booster. A 60-pound (27 kg) payload could be boosted to a 210 miles (340 km) circular orbit, or to an elliptical orbit with a 700 miles (1,130 km) apogee. Pegasus would have used the Pershing erector-launcher and could be emplaced in any open area. Martin seems to have been targeting the nascent European space program, but this program was never developed. |
