Also, what kind of propellant/oxidant was used?


It was a two-stage missle with a solid fuel booster and a liquid fuel
missle motor. One of the liquid components was "red fuming nitric
acid" but I forgot the other component. It's been well over 40 years

If RFNA was one component, then the other probably was some form of
hydrazine -- probably unsymmetrical dimethyil hydrazine, which is
Nasty and Corrosive enough to make RFNA look positively friendly.
