Notes
  • STORED ON SITE. mchr
  • Significance: The threat posed by intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) lay at the heart of nearly all foreign policy decisions during the Cold War Era. The Atlas program produced the United States' first operational intercontinental ballistic missile and served as the template for the technological and organizational aspects of later ICBM programs. The Atlas F missile represents the culmination of this pioneering effort and the Atlas F Missile Site S-8 at Winters, Texas is a representative example of one of the first operational ICBM launch complexes in the United States.
