[BYEMAN]

The Launch Complex 5/6 Spin Test Facility is located in the red circle. It is the site where the upperstages and payloads of all the Jupiter-C, Juno I and Juno II were prepared and spin balanced. I its also the site were final assembly and encapsulation of Rangers 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 was performed as well as Mariners 1 & 2 and all the Lunar Orbiters.

Here are some photos after the construction of the facility in 1956.

I will be posting photos of the planetary missions in the appropriate forums. I will post the Juno Explorer and Pioneer missions here.


I would like some feedback on how Flickr works for this.

I wrote two articles in the Quest Magazine on the history of this facility.

I will continue with other Juno-I Explorers followed by Juno-II Explorers and Pioneers.
