Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Squirt missile was a sub-scale version of the Sprint missile used for testing. Here a Squirt is shown on its launcher at Launch Complex 37 at the White Sands Missile Range. This is one in a series of three images showing the launch sequence. The radome in the background cannot be clearly identified. It could be the Zeus Target Tracking Radar (TTR) at the neighbouring Launch Complex 38, but that building was small and would have a large metal fence behind it which would be easily visible. The building inside that fence, the Zeus Discrimination Radar (DR), is the most likely match in terms of physical appearance, but the fence is missing in this photo although it exists to this day. It could also be the more distant receiver dome for the Zeus Acquisition Radar (ZAR), but this was some distance away from LC37.
