MGM-29 Sergeant in flight
The MGM-29 Sergeant was an American short-range, solid fuel, surface-to-surface missile developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Activated by the US Army in 1962 to replace the MGM-5 Corporal it was deployed overseas by 1963, carrying the W52 nuclear warhead. It was replaced by the MGM-52 Lance and the last US Army battalion was deactivated in 1977.
The Sergeant had a takeoff thrust of 200 kN, a takeoff weight of 4530 kg, a diameter of 790 mm, a length of 10.52 m and a fin span of 1.80 m. It was used as the second stage of the Scout satellite launcher, and clusters of Sergeant-derived rockets were used in the second and third stages of the Jupiter-C sounding rocket and the Juno I launch vehicle.
Thiokol developed the Sergeant rocket motors -- and the Castor rocket stages derived from them -- at the Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, Alabama.[1]
