Description: This industrial film produced by the United States Air Force captures the launching of an aerobee rocket at the Air Force Missile Test Center at Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The footage shows the process of the launch experiment, from analysis back at the Air Force Cambridge Research Center in Massachusetts to assembling and launching the rocket to finally retrieving the missile and interpreting the data about the upper atmosphere it has collected. This film was produced by Texas native Robert Redd. Redd was the founder of Tele-Print, Inc., a Dallas-based digital media company, and a producer of many notable B-movies such as “Zontar, the Thing from Venus” (1966).
