- Notes
- NASA's historical Scout table identifies D-1 as Algol IIIA, Castor IIA, Antares IIB, and Altair IIIA in stages 1 through 4. The third-stage Antares IIB is deliberately kept distinct from Scout G-1's Antares IIIA; all other referenced systems are reused exact variants. Scout A-F, Scout G-1, Scout E/F, development/X, Blue Scout, and the Scout parent remain separate.
