Many books I have read talk about the ARMY project. It was simply
the Jupiter C balistic missle project designed by Werner Von
Braun at Huntsville. They were ordered to fill thier payload
section with sand to prevent an "accidental" orbit insertion of a
test vehicle. This was to give the "civilian"/navy Vanguard
booster the chance to do the job first.

The only reason we lost the space race of 1957 was because of
service infighting.
