Summary

Description
English: Mercury-Redstone Booster Development (MR-BD) launch from Cape Canaveral on March 24, 1961 at 12:30 PM local time. This Mercury-Redstone launch vehicle carried a "boilerplate" model of the Mercury spacecraft. (The truck parked next to the launch stand was unmanned and asbestos-protected; it was there to test how a Mercury-Redstone launch would affect the remote-controlled mobile aerial tower vehicle ("cherry-picker") used with manned launches as an alternate means for the astronaut to escape in an emergency.)
Date Taken on 24 March 1961
