1954 Crescent : Croydon Vliegtuigserie #192 - Martin Viking

The U.S. Navy Viking #5 sounding rocket is featured on card #192 in Deel III. The single-stage Martin RTV-N-12 rocket was launched into suborbital space from White Sands Proving Ground on November 21, 1950. Viking #5 reached an apogee of 108 miles (174 km). The experiment package measured cosmic radiation and pressure in the upper atmosphere. Two onboard film cameras provided high altitude footage of the Earth.
