[FPSPACE] Gun-launch to space

[M.Wade@iaea.org]

New on the Encyclopedia Astronautica - comprehensive coverage of
gun-launched space vehicles, from Newton and Jules Verne to Iraq's Project
Babylon. Detailed coverage of the Martlet series of space probes of the
1960's, including the Martlet 4 orbital vehicle.

A bit off topic for this forum, but note I checked with several of the
group's members and could find no evidence of Russian interest in this
method of space launch!

Many thanks to Richard K Graf for contributing this important new material.
