Summary[edit]

Description 330-PSA-254-60 (164494 AC): The nose cone of a U.S. inter-continental ballistic missile is brought onboard the Air Force Missile Test Center’s ocean range vessel “Coastal Crusader” after landing in the South Atlantic Ocean near Ascension Island, 5,000 miles, at 18,000 mph, from its launching site at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The three “Astromics” carried in a “space capsule” onboard the nose cone were returned to Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, alive and well, on Monday, October 17, 1960. The mice, riding on a space available basis, comprised one of numerous experiments which were added to the flight. (9/9/2015).
