- Notes
- NASA's 1981 launch-vehicle table names the Scout stack as Algol IIIA, Castor IIA, Antares IIIA, and Altair IIIA in stages 1 through 4; the NASA Scout-G-1 report independently establishes the four-stage all-solid vehicle. This packet is limited to Scout G-1; Scout A-F, development/X, Blue Scout, and the Scout family parent remain separate and unconfigured.
