Artifact Overview
General Electric formed its Missile and Space Vehicle Department in 1955 to research and develop a re-entry vehicle (or nose cone) for the Air Force Atlas Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). The department later broadened its services to other space-related projects--satellites, probes, and human-crewed space vehicles--and created a Space Technology Center to test aspects of its research.
