Originally a CONFIDENTIAL secret report--declassified in 1967.

A May 1962 report on the third flight test of the Little Joe program, December 4, 1959. Little Joe involved the launch of a Mercury spacecraft for the purpose of studying the operation of the spacecraft escape system under low dynamic loads and high Mach number. The crew for the flight was a small Rhesus monkey (Sam) which was recovered successfully. Technical in nature, a number of charts, graphs and B&W photos. A fascinating report. Stapled, 53pp, illustrated.
