Project Discoverer is a series of tests, the purpose of which is to achieve orbit - including polar orbit - of large heavy satellites and to eject and recover space capsules. Discoverer I and II were successfully launched in 1959. In August 1960 the first successful space capsule recovery was made when Discoverer XIII's nose cone was recovered by helicopter from the Pacific Ocean. The Minuteman, an intercontinental ballistic missile, was launched by the United States Air Force in 1961 - fully two years ahead of schedule. This solid propellant missile is considerably less expensive to produce than any of its predecessors. Film shows some firing tests of the missile -some from underground silos. Shows the performance of the Thunderbirds, the Air Force's famous supersonic precision flying team. Their spectacular maneuvers demonstrate the superior training of Air Force pilots and the confidence they have in their aircraft.

Explorer VI, the Paddlewheel satellite, weighs 142 pounds and contains devices for measuring cosmic dust radiation and for observing the earth's weather patterns. Fired into orbit on August 7, 1959, Explorer VI transmitted from space the first crude picture of our planet. The data gathered by this satellite represents an important breakthrough in space technology. Blue Scout Rocket, the Air Force's four-stage test vehicle is set up, checked out and launched by Air Force personnel at Cape Canaveral. This missile is designed to provide the Air Force with a reliable space research booster. The four stages of solid fuel "Blue Scout" are capable of projecting instrumented packages well beyond the limits of earth's atmosphere in search of data from which may be forged the key to space travel. Carried by SAC's long range B-52 aircraft, the deadly Hound Dog air-to-surface missile extends the capability of manned strategic bombers. It delivers a nuclear warhead at supersonic speeds over a range of 700 miles. Propelled by B-52 turbojet engine, the Hound Dog is equipped with inertial guidance, and has an altitude in excess of 50,000 feet. This deadly missile is a true deterrent to aggression.

The X-15 experimental aircraft is rocket powered and is designed to reach altitudes in excess of 100 miles and speeds over 4, 000 miles per hour. The purpose of these flights is to study thermal aspects of re-entry problems, stability and control at high speeds and altitudes, and pilot reaction to weightlessness, rapid acceleration and deceleration. Using small rocket motors where aerodynamic controls are ineffective, this engineering marvel serves as an important step in the evolution from manned aircraft to manned spacecraft. The young men who graduate from the Air Force Academy look forward to serving as officers in the United States Air Force. Physically fit and mentally alert, they will gradually take over the reins of leadership and help shape our nation's aerospace future. The knowledge they have gained, the technical skills they have acquired, and the talents they have developed in the classroom and laboratory will enable them to take their place as vital cogs in the Air Force machinery and pursue their careers in the aerospace age. This two-stage 90-foot giant has exceeded 6000 miles to deliver a nuclear load. The Titan weighs 110 tons at launch and is capable of traveling at twenty times the speed of sound. This awesome ICBM is indeed a respected deterrent to help preserve world peace. But beyond its military application, the Titan is an instrument of science - a vehicle for extending man's knowledge far beyond the limits of this planet.
