What was a rocket that came before the mercury rocket?
The rocket that came before the Mercury rocket was the Redstone rocket. The Redstone rocket was used for suborbital flights before the Mercury program began.
What were the two rockets used to launch astronauts during the mercury space program?
The two rockets used to launch astronauts during the Mercury space program were the Redstone and the Atlas rockets. The Redstone rocket was primarily used for the suborbital flights, such as the first American manned flight with Alan Shepard in 1961. The Atlas rocket was utilized for the orbital missions, including John Glenn's historic flight in 1962. Both rockets played crucial roles in advancing human spaceflight during the early years of NASA's space exploration efforts.
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.
Who of the seven Mercury astronauts flew to the moon?

Which 2 launch vehicles were used to launch the mercury astronauts?

Where did Mercury 1 go?
I'm not sure what you are referring to. Mercury-Redstone 1 and Mercury-Redstone 1A were test flights for the Mercury program that eventually took the first Americans into space. Mercury-Redstone 1 failed during launch. Mercury-Redstone 1A was a sub-orbital (ballistic) test flight. Neither was manned.
