These launch vehicles, missiles, telemetry
antennas, and boilerplate capsules were originally located at the Air Force
Space and Missile Museum "Rocket Garden" static display area. Using historical records, they
have since been completely restored to their original appearance and are now
displayed in various hangars on Cape Canaveral AFS.
