The purpose of this report is to present a performance analysis of the Atlas weapon system and subsystems based upon data obtained from Series D research and development (R and D) flights subsequent to the flight of Missile 51D and including the flight tests of all D/AIG missiles. The analysis includes data obtained from Series D R and D flights using radio-inertial guidance (RIG) and all-inertial guidance (AIG) systems. The last vehicle considered is Missile 90D, the last Series D R and D missile launched on 23 January 1961. Series D/RIG R and D flight up to and including Missile 51D are reported in summary form in Report No. AE60-0131-1. (Author)
