	Vanguard TV-0 was a refurbished Viking 13 rocket. Vanguard TV-0 was only a one-stage test flight. It was launched on 8 December 1956 at 01:05 at Cape Canaveral from launch pad 18A. A Viking launch stand was shipped from White Sands Missile Range for use at the Cape Canaveral. The one-stage test flight was to prepare for the late launch of the full three-stage Vanguard. One of the goals of the test was to test the new Minitrack transmitter used as part of the tracking systems. Shortly after two minutes after lift off a small telemetry antennas unrolled from the rocket transmitting an oscillator's beep. The beep was picked up at the Air Force Missile Test Center's (AFMTC) tracking station.
