Summary

[edit]
Description

Looking east across the Main Hall at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

Against the far wall are an SS-20 (l) and a Pershing II. These are nuclear missiles deployed in Europe in the 1980s, but banned by the INF Treaty of 1988.

The large black plane is an X-15, the world's first spaceplane. Behind it, the green plane is the Douglas D-558-2, the first plane to fly at Mach 2.

The cluster of rockets lower-right were all designed by Robert Goddard in the 1930s. They helped prove that liquid-fueled rockets were possible.

The space-like thing in the foreground is an engineering back-up of Pioneer 10, the space probe that completed the first interplanetary mission to Jupiter, and was the first spacecraft to escape the Solar System.
