The Scout X-2B was an American expendable launch system of the Scout family, flown in 1963. It was a four-stage rocket based on the Scout X-2 but with an Altair 2A fourth stage in place of the Altair 1A, and it was an all-solid design: an Algol 1D first stage, a Castor 1A second stage, an Antares 2A third stage and the Altair 2A. It made only one flight, from Launch Complex D at Point Arguello on 27 September 1963, carrying the P-35 weather satellite P35-5, and the launch failed to achieve orbit.
