Project Boomerang proposed (1 mar 1959 año – 30 mar 1959 año)

Descripción:

H. Kurt Strass and Leo T. Chauvin of STG proposed a heatshield test of a full scale Mercury spacecraft at lunar reentry speeds. This test, in which the capsule would penetrate the earth's radiation belt, was called Project Boomerang. An advanced version of the Titan missile was to be the launch vehicle. The project was postponed and ultimately dropped because of cost.
