History 

The Aerobee 150 was designed by Aerojet General and was first flown in 1955 as an Aerobee-Hi. The Aerobee series was developed to replace the V-2 and WAC Corporal and was an outgrowth of the Navy’s Bumblebee project. NASA renamed the Aerobee-Hi to Aerobee 150 in 1959, but they were still essentially the same design. Evolving over the years to a four fined version, the Aerobee 150A, and a two stage version, the Aerobee 300 “Spaerobee”, the program was highly successful with over 500 launches.
