  • The Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) was the agency formed to develop the US Army's first intermediate range ballistic missile. It was established at Redstone Arsenal on February 1, 1956 and commanded by Major General John B. Medaris with Doctor Wernher von Braun. In the March, 1958 ABMA was placed under the new Army Ordnance Missile Command (AOMC) along with Redstone Arsenal, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, White Sands Proving Ground and the Army Rocket and Guided Missile Agency (ARGMA). General Medaris was placed in command of AOMC and BG John A. Barclay took command of ABMA. The Redstone missile was the first major project assigned to ABMA. After the US Naval Research Laboratory's Project Vanguard was chosen by the DOD Committee on Special Capabilities, over the ABMA's proposal to use a modified Redstone ballistic missile as a satellite launch vehicle, ABMA was ordered to stop work on satellites and focus, instead, on intermediate missiles. Von Braun, disobeying orders, continued work on the design for what became the Jupiter-C IRBM. This was a three-stage rocket, which, by coincidence, could be used to launch a satellite in the Juno I configuration. In September 1956, the Jupiter-C was launched with a 30 lb (14 kg) dummy satellite. It is generally believed that, at this time, the ABMA could have put a satellite into orbit had the US government allowed ABMA to do so. A year later, the Soviets launched Sputnik 1. A Redstone based Jupiter-C launched Explorer 1 on 31 January 1958. Redstone was later used in Project Mercury and as part of the Saturn I launch vehicle. In 1956, studies began for a replacement for the Redstone missile. Initially called the Redstone-S (solid), the name was changed to Pershing and a contract was awarded to The Martin Company, beginning a program that lasted 34 years. In early 1958, NACA's "Stever Committee" included consultation from the ABMA's large booster program, headed by Wernher von Braun. Von Braun's Group was referred to as the "Working Group on Vehicular Program. " In 1958 AMBA's scientific and engineering staff, including Von Braun and Arthur Rudolph, were transferred to the newly created NASA, and the facilities on the southern half of Redstone Arsenal became Marshall Space Flight Center. Medaris took command of AOMC in 1958 and BG John A. Barclay became the ABMA commander. In 1961 the AOMC space related missions and most of its employees, facilities and equipment were transferred to NASA. BG Richard M. Hurst took command from May 1960 until December 1961 when both ABMA and ARGMA were abolished and the remnants were folded directly into AOMC. AOMC was restructured into the new US Army Missile Command (MICOM) in 1962.

  • Wojskowa Agencja Pocisków Balistycznych (ang. Army Ballistic Missile Agency) – instytucja Armii Stanów Zjednoczonych powołana w celu prac nad pociskami balistycznymi dalekiego zasięgu oraz rakietami zdolnymi do wynoszenia sztucznych satelitów na orbitę Ziemi. Powołana została 22 listopada 1955 w wyniku decyzji amerykańskiego sekretarza obrony, o konsolidacji wojskowych instytucji pracujących nad rakietami balistycznymi dalekiego zasięgu, w jeden organ. Efektem prac ABMA były rakiety z rodziny Jupiter oraz Saturn I. Na czele agencji stał Wernher von Braun.
  • L' Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) (en français l'Agence des missiles balistiques de l'Armée de Terre) est un établissement militaire américain créé pour développer les premiers missiles balistiques à moyenne portée de l'Armée de Terre américaine. Elle a été créée le Modèle:1er février 1956 sur la base de Redstone Arsenal près de Huntsville en Alabama. L'agence était commandée par le Major Général John B. Medaris et Wernher von Braun, l'ingénieur allemand qui avait développé le missile V2. L'agence a développé le missile à courte portée Redstone et a commencé les premiers travaux sur le premier lanceur lourd de la NASA, la fusée Saturn I. En 1958 l'établissement fut transféré à l'agence spatiale civile américaine qui venait d'être fondée, et devint le Marshall Space Flight Center dirigée par von Braun : cet établissement sera chargé, au sein de l'agence, de développer les lanceurs dont Saturn V.
