After Thor, Jupiter was America's second IRBM designed by Werner Von Braun.
It was also used as a satellite launch vehicle.

Jupiters were very short to ease handling aboard ships. The Navy withdrew
from the project in Nov. 1956 in favor of the solid fuel Polaris missile,
but the Jupiter IRBM retained its short squat dimensions, and was
too wide to be carried aboard contemporary cargo aircraft.

In 1961, the U.S. deployed 15 Jupiter IRBMs near Izmir, Turkey, directly
threatening Soviet cities, including Moscow. In late April 1962, Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev decided to deploy intermediate-range missiles in Cuba,
leading to the Cuban missile crisis.

It's liquid fuel rocket made it difficult to prepare and maintain.
