- Views of the third Juno II flight that failed almost at liftoff, being destroyed by the range safety officer.
Sequences from multiple cameras as shown side by side and isolated in real time. The audio was recreated based on actual Juno II launches. AI upscale (Topaz AI) was used to upscale the film sequences. While it works in most cases, some artifacts are present in some sequences.
Sound and image cleanup, conversion to original frame rate, AI upscale and color restoration by RetroSpace HD.
=======================================
Juno II was an American space launch vehicle used during the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was derived from the Jupiter missile, which was used as the first stage.
The attempted launch of an Explorer satellite on 16 July 1959 failed dramatically when the Juno II lost control almost immediately at liftoff, performing a cartwheel before the range safety officer sent the destruct command. The almost fully fueled booster crashed a few hundred feet from the pad, blockhouse crews watching in stunned surprise at the upper stage motors burning on the ground. The cause of the mishap was quickly traced to a short between two diodes in a power inverter, which cut off power to the guidance system at liftoff and caused the Juno's engine to gimbal to full stop, flipping the vehicle onto its side before Range Safety action was taken. To prevent a recurrence of this failure mode, improved coatings were used on the circuit boards in the booster.

"Oh, Shit..!"
NASA speak before they used "anomaly."
Stay in the Blockhouse!!!
The guy who is saying oh shit must have been really surprised about the rocket exploding
He sounds like he's laughing as he says it. You'd need a sense of humor in that situation...
"Our rockets always blow up and our boys always botch it!" - Tom Wolfe, The Right Stuff
It's difficult to grasp what he meant out-ot-context - iirc he used the phrase as a motif to indicate the prevailing mood amongst the American public prior to their successes. That book is so good - I've read it about 5 times . Mailer's book I find less accessible albeit I need to read it again .
Ten years later to the day, Apollo 11 launched.
Hmmm ... looks like in 1969 they already knew there would be damaged concrete underneath a launch mount. 😀
Yay new video! Love coming to the channel and going back in time with these retro vids
Another great post! Keep it up.
This was featured on the film "The Right Stuff."
It's odd that in certain angles it looks as though the rocket wasn't completely vertical on the pad.
Can’t get anywhere without an oopsie or two
"HOLY SHIIIIITTTTT". Fatality, gravity wins.
Classic.
HIT THE DECK!!!!!
This would have inertial navigation ? Looks very similar to the failure of a Soyuz rocket in 2013 or about then
What an epic ride!😂
I bet brown pants were the new fashion statement!😊
I know it's probably just process and there's one guy who's job it is to call out "Stay in the blockhouse" when this sort of thing happens, but I feel like if you're stupid enough to go outside in this situation, with alarms sounding etc, you probably shouldn't be having anything to do with launching rockets in the first place.
el cohete juno II despega pero se gira a la izquierda a un angulo que no estaba planeado alfinal tuviero que activar el sistema de auto destruccion. en un momento se escucha dos palabras !ho shit¡ que en español significa !ho m¡er@#¡
As for me, I think I will stay in the blockhouse. Just sayin'.
Where do they want us stay again?
Juno was almost a big a piece of crap as Atlas. Which is not a surprise since they shared parts (the Juno engine was the same engine as the booster unit on the Atlas)
STAY IN THE BUNKHOUSE!!!
Nein , das ist nicht gut.
That is the worst launch pad I've ever seen. Like it was assembled out of spare bike parts.
AI - Lame! What for? Same idea went into Star Wars and look how that turned out. I unsubscribe anything AI.
Have fun with AI.
A.I. wasn't used on Star Wars; CGI was. Why does this need to be explained to you?
A.I. ( aka a computer program) was used here to improve the video quality of the old recordings.
That's all
Nice try AI Bot. Go back to your motherboard.
If you need to have the difference between "AI" and CGI explained, there is no hope for you. Keep following the warning labels on product packaging because you clearly need them.
