Visitors to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, can visit Rocket Park for an historic tour of world-class rockets developed by engineers and technicians at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Some significant examples of these historic launch vehicles populate Rocket Park: a Hermes, an early U.S. adaptation of the V-2 wartime rocket that stands beside it; a Jupiter C, used to launch Explorer I; a Juno II, designed to launch early satellites and space probes; and a Saturn I, America’s first dedicated space launcher, designed to put payloads in Earth orbit.
