Small explosion visible early on at the base of the United States Vanguard TV-3 (Vanguard Test Vehicle-Three) rocket. Smoke begins billowing out from the launch pad area. At launch, the rocket barely gains thrust, rising slightly above the launch umbilical tower (LUT), before it falls back downward. Dramatic slow motion capture as the conical nose of the rocket tips off and the area is engulfed in a fireball, initiated from an explosion at the base of the rocket. Thick cloud of black smoke remains after. The service structure is sprayed with water. During the beginning of the Space Race.
