FIRST SPACE POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES Washington D.C. – May 20, 1955 National Security Council 5520 “…a program for a small scientific satellite could be developed from existing missile programs already underway within the Department of Defense.” “The IGY affords an excellent opportunity to mesh a scientific satellite program with the cooperative world- wide geophysical observational program” “Considerable prestige and psychological benefits will accrue to the nation which first is successful in launching a satellite.”

The 4-stage ‘Jupiter C RS-27’ was launched from Redstone with the fourth stage intentionally inactivated. This rocket attained a range of 3335 miles and an altitude of 682 miles and “could have obtained sufficient velocity to place it in orbit, if the last stage had been activated.” Wernher von Braun ARMY BALLISTIC MISSILE AGENCY Redstone Arsenal – September 20, 1956

Eisenhower “THE UNITED STATES is dedicated to the principle that the vast uninhabited wastes of Antarctica shall be used only for peaceful purposes. We do not want Antarctica to become an object of political conflict. Accordingly, the United States has invited eleven other countries, including the Soviet Union, to confer with us to seek an effective joint means of achieving this objective.”

CONFERENCE ON ANTARCTICA Washington, DC (15 October – 1 December 1959) ANTARCTIC TREATY Signed: December 1, 1959 Washington, DC (1776 Pennsylvania Avenue) “…it is in the interest of all mankind that Antarctica shall continue forever to be used exclusively for peaceful purposes and shall not become the scene or object of international discord; …establishment of a firm foundation for the continuation and development of such cooperation on the basis of freedom of scientific investigation in Antarctica as applied during the International Geophysical Year…”
