It carried a Defense Advanced Research Project Agency Streak satellite into polar orbit and it was successful. These photos were taken by my mom (Lilian Holt), she's an excellent photographer and has photographed all of the SS-1 flights. In one of the photos you can see staging occur and the rocket was visible until MECO. Ray [This message has been edited by collectSPACE Admin (edited September 23, 2005).]
