EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Complete Blue Streak electrical mock-up undergoing circuit testing at the Stevenage Laboratories in circa 1964. The Blue Streak missile, a significant development in British ballistic technology, was designed to deliver nuclear warheads to targets thousands of miles away. This electrical mock-up was a crucial step in the development process, allowing engineers to test and refine the complex electrical systems that powered the missile's guidance, propulsion, and payload release mechanisms. The Blue Streak missile was a two-stage, liquid-fuelled rocket, with a length of 28.5 meters and a diameter of 1.5 meters. It was capable of delivering a payload of up to 1,500 kilograms to a range of over 5,000 kilometers. The missile's development was a collaborative effort between the British Ministry of Defence and the National Research Development Corporation. The electrical mock-up in this photograph was meticulously constructed to replicate the missile's electrical systems, allowing engineers to test and troubleshoot potential issues in a controlled environment. The intricate wiring and components can be seen in this image, with various testing equipment connected to the mock-up for analysis. Stevenage Laboratories, located in Hertfordshire, England, was a leading centre for missile and rocket technology during the 1950s and 1960s. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the cutting-edge research and development that took place there, as engineers worked tirelessly to bring the Blue Streak missile to fruition. The Complete Blue Streak electrical mock-up undergoing circuit testing at Stevenage Laboratories in circa 1964 represents a pivotal moment in the history of British ballistic technology.
