| Description: | After a long, seemingly jinxed experimental phase, project Vanguard scores a bulls-eye on the third attempt. On two previous tries, the advanced multi-stage rockets failed. Now, at ape Canaveral, the big navy rocket hurtles aloft in flawless flight, to place America’s second 'moon' into orbit. Establishing shot - A shot of the Vanguard looking up from the ground as the Vanguard sits on a launching pad. CUS - One of the Vanguard scientists holding the little moon that will orbit our earth. MS - Three scientists huddled together all excited about the blast off. MCUS - The nose cone of the Vanguard. MS - A group of technicians and scientists involved in the count down. MLS - Vanguard on launching pad, you hear the engines as it gets ready to blast off. MLS - The Vanguard blasting off, climbing up into the atmosphere leaving a smoke screen. | |
