Juno I
Four stage rocket derived from the Jupiter-C sounding rocket. After the "Sputnik Crisis" and the failure of the Vanguard program, a Juno I rocket was used to launch America's first satellite, Explorer 1.
Titan II GLV (Gemini Launch Vehicle)
American launch vehicle derived from the Titan II missile. Launched twelve Gemini program missions featuring the first flights with two astronauts.
Atlas 10-D “Big Joe 1”
First launch of the Mercury program. Launched a boilerplate Mercury capsule to test the ablative heat shield, afterbody heating, and reentry dynamics.
A-4 / V-2 Rocket with Support and Supply Vehicles
The Aggregat 4 (A-4), later renamed the V-2 for Vengeance Weapon 2, was the world's first long range missile and the first to pass the Karman line reaching 'space'. Much of the development team went on to help develop rocket programs for both...

Astrovan Apollo Era
Transport for Apollo astronauts to launchpad. Modified Cortez motorhome.
Long March 5 (CZ-5)
Heavy Lift launch vehicle developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. First to use non-hypergolic liquid fuels. As of 2021 it is the 3rd most powerful launch vehicle.
Atlas LV-3B (Mercury-Atlas Launch Vehicle)
First American orbital human-rated launch vehicle. Used to launch the Mercury capsule to low Earth orbit.
Juno II
Four stage rocket derived from the Jupiter missile and using MGM-29 Sergeant solid rocket motors for the upper stages. Launched Pioneer 3 (failure) and Pioneer 4 which became the first American lunar probe.
Titan Mover Trains
The Titan project also had a twin track linking the assembly buildings and launch pads; specially adapted EMD SW-8 switchers were used to move the rocket.
