What booster rocket launched Mercury capsules into orbit?

Freedom 7 and Liberty Bell 7 the first two Mercury mission were launched on top of converted US Army Redstone rockets due to continued delays with the original planned Atlas booster.The Redstone lacked sufficient power to achieve orbit but was able to propel the Mercury capsule in a 15-20 minute sub-orbital arc during which astronauts Alan Shepard and Gus Grisson experienced about 5 minutes of Zero-G.For John Glenn's flight the Atlas booster was ready and able to put his spacecraft into orbit. Fellow Mercury astronauts Scott Carpenter, Wally Schirra and Gordon Cooper all flew on top of Atlas boosters. The Atlas was retired as a manned launcher after the end of the Mercury program in 1963 but continues today in a much altered and upgraded form as a satellite launch system.

The spacecraft was nicknamed "Freedom 7" and Shepard was the first American in space. Six months earlier, the more powerful Atlas rocket of "Mercury Atlas 5" had lofted Enos the chimpanzee for two orbits of the Earth. After Virgil "Gus" Grissom made a Redstone flight similar to Shepard's, John Glenn flew "Mercury-Atlas 6" and his capsule "Friendship 7" on February 20, 1962, becoming the first American to orbit the Earth.
