Summary

[edit]
Description

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

This is "Rocket Row" -- a grouping of famous missiles and rockets. When the Air & Space Museum was in smaller quarters behind the Smithsonian Castle (prior to the opening of its current building in 1976), these stood in a row outdoors. They are now grouped in a major exhibit in the Space Hall.

Left to right, they are: Scout-D (so tall its nosecone cannot be seen), Jupiter-C (the "UE" marking), and Minuteman III (green and white). Flying overhead is the tail of the Tomahawk cruise missile. The tailfins to the right belong to the Northrop M2-F3 Lifting Body. An engineering back-up to the Hubble Space Telescope is rear right.
