Mercury Redstone BD, March 24th, 1961

These are decals for the Mercury Redstone BD launch.

Dr. Wernher von Braun added Mercury-Redstone BD (Booster Development) to the launch schedule between the MR-2 and MR-3 missions. Von Braun was adamant that the Redstone could not be considered man-rated until a perfect test flight and that the launch vehicle performance on MR-1A and MR-2 had not met acceptable standards for carrying a human passenger.

Please allow some time for decal printing and shipping.
