Scout Development Series
The Scout Development Series comprises the evolving Scout X configurations flown from 1960 through 1968. Early vehicles qualified solid propulsion, staging, guidance, reentry payloads, and orbital operations; the lineage progressed from the partly inert Scout X test stack through X-1’s first all-solid orbital success and later X-5C research flights.
