On Page 16 Appendix D: "Redstone Missile Videos", made a narration correction to the audio narration of YouTube video Redstone Block II Tactical Missile No. CC-2014 ASP firing in HD. Missile 2014 carried a special television reconnaissance vehicle T-1 TV Pod, which was mounted at the base of the Missile Body. After missile separation the T-1 TV Pod followed the missile body in the ballistic path, transmitting live TV pictures back to a WSMR ground station. Observers at the ground station were able to view the ballistic flight of the missile body all the way to target impact.

The ASP was conducted by Battery A, 217th Field Artillery Missile Battalion, 40th Artillery Group at the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico on March 15, 1960. Be sure to view the video in full screen mode.
