Sergeant
 Sergeant Credit: via Andreas Parsch |
AKA: M15;M-20;MGM-29;MGM-29A;SSM-A-26 / M15;SSM-A-27;W52. Status: Retired 1994. First Launch: 1956-01-19. Last Launch: 1994-08-18. Number: 148 . Payload: 820 kg (1,800 lb). Thrust: 200.00 kN (44,960 lbf). Gross mass: 4,530 kg (9,980 lb). Height: 10.52 m (34.51 ft). Diameter: 0.79 m (2.59 ft). Span: 1.80 m (5.90 ft). Apogee: 80 km (49 mi).
Sergeant began in 1948 as a solid-propellant successor to the Corporal battlefield ballistic missile. However both JPL and Thiokol concluded that large solid-motor technology was not yet ready. New motors with star configuration propellant loads tested under General Electric's Hermes A2 project provided the necessary breakthrough. Hermes was cancelled in 1953 due to interminable delays, and the Army requested proposals for Sergeant from other contractors. In January 1955 JPL was selected as development contractor, and the first missile was launched in 1956. Sperry Utah was selected as production contractor, and Sergeant replaced Corporal in Army service beginning July 1962. Sergeant was in turn replaced by the Lance missile in 1972-1977.
Sergeant's inertial guidance and solid propellant motor meant that logistics were vastly reduced. The missile could be launched within 90 minutes after reaching the launch location, compared to nine hours for Corporal. Range was controlled on Sergeant by drag-brakes, which counteracted the solid motor's thrust to reduce range from the maximum achievable.
Development Cost $: 172.100 million. Recurring Price $: 0.750 million in 1960 dollars. Flyaway Unit Cost 1985$: 0.405 million in 1960 dollars. Maximum range: 139 km (86 mi). Number Standard Warheads: 1. Standard warhead: W52. Warhead yield: 200 KT. Boost Propulsion: Solid rocket. Maximum speed: 5,650 kph (3,510 mph). Initial Operational Capability: 1962. Total Number Built: 473. Total Development Built: 64. Total Production Built: 409.

Nation: USA.
Agency: AEC.
Apogee: 147 km (91 mi).
Test of the Los Alamos XW-50X1 60 kiloton nuclear warhead. Launch vehicle was a solid propellant XM-33 Strypi rocket with a Recruit booster stage. The warhead detonated at an altitude of 147 km, 66 km from Johnston Island. Observers on the island saw a green and blue circular region surrounded by a red ring. This faded in less than a minute. Blue-green streamers and pink striations developed that lasted half an hour. At this yield, even with the high altitude, extensive disruption of communications were not reported.
