Mockup of Mercury capsule and rocket, NASA museum, Wallops Island, VA

This photo shows one of the rocket models they had on exhibit on the grounds here. This one shows the Mercury capsule and it's support missile. Wallops Island handled the testing for the escape rocket mounted to the top of the rocket, which could pull the capsule out of danger if the main rocket had problems.
