The ICBM suborbital test launch of Atlas missile 11A at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station,Florida, United States. After ignition, the missile sits awhile with rocket engine burning, on launch pad LC-12, before it begins its ascent. Camera tracks it during climb until only the fire from its burning rocket engine is still visible. At TC: 02:17 the rocket emits a large plume of fiery smoke that trails it. The camera continues to track the rocket which begins to exhibit an unsteady track, as it falls. At TC:03:41, the rocket explodes and vanishes from view. The failure was attributed to a short in the vernier feedback transducer which resulted in loss of control, followed by engine shutdown due to a propellant leak. The missile broke up 126 seconds after launch.

Atlas 3B Missile launch, test number 1564, from Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. Atlas Missile takes off from launch pad and advances upward. Missile explodes mid flight leaving black smoke in air. Missile part falls on ground. (Note: This was the first launch of an Atlas B missile and the first Atlas to have an operating sustainer engine and detachable booster section. The launch failed due to human error; ground crews accidentally left the gyroscope spin motors powered off so the missile went out of control as soon as the pitch and roll maneuver started. Range Safety sent the destruct command 56 seconds after launch. The flight was considered a partial success because all other missile systems functioned properly until destruction.)
