Striking ca. 1958/59 Martin Company artist’s concept depicting (possibly) the proposed Juno V launch vehicle, and possibly, to a degree, the “original” Saturn I. The depiction may have been used in/as part of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency’s (ABMA) Project Horizon proposal. The beckoning moon may support such a supposition. Then again, many artist’s concepts of this time, regardless of how applicable/appropriate, may have featured the orbed maiden. Finally & specifically, since there appear to be no separation planes visible on the thrusting second stage, this may be the Juno V two-stage flight test vehicle. Possibly supported by Ed Dempsey’s linked diagram below.
I’m winging it…so who knows.
I love the residual plume effect of the first stage engines, bravo!
Beautiful airbrush work. Being of Martin Company origination, the “Dream Team” of Frederick E. Fahdt, Frank R. DiPietro, John Gorsuch & truly enigmatic (probable) Mr. Olivari are the usual suspects. Maybe even Nick Stanilla?
Bits & pieces regarding the Juno V, Saturn A-1, etc., etc. are all over the place. The best IMHO, at:
