Description of Mission
From SP-45 Mercury project summary
The Little Joe 1B mission was successfully accomplished on January 21,1960, from the Wallops Station launch site. This mission had been added to the flight schedule because of the failures of Little Joe 1 and Little Joe 1A to meet the test objectives. On this mission, all test objectives were successfully met, with the accomplishment of an abort at the conditions described for Little Joe 1A. This spacecraft also had a monkey as a passenger. Both the monkey and the spacecraft were recovered satisfactorily at the end of the mission
