FASHIONS ROCKET
To REACH MOON To
TEST AIR LEVELS
Professor Goddard MakingAp-
paratuS to Penetrate Beyond
Earth's Atmosphere.

WASHINGTON, =. g. Sunday
method Of sending apparatus TO the hith-
erto unreached higher layers II the air,
te the regions beyond the ,arths at
mosphere and even as far as the moon
Itself is described by Professor Robert
FL Goddard, OF Clark College, in a recent
publication for the Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
Tho new apparatus is a multiple charge,
high efficiency rocket of entirely new de-
sign.
THE great scientific value OF Profess
sor Goddards experiments" says the an
nouncement, lies in the possibility OF
sending recording apparatus TO moderate
and extreme attitudes within the earth $
atmosphere. The nature of the higher
levels OF the air for long time has been
a subject OF much speculation, as 20 their
chemical composition, temperature, cleo
trical nature, density, ozone and content.
The highest level that has ever been
reached up TO the present time with re-
cording instruments is about nineteen
miles. accomplished with q free balloon
Is the earth's atmosphere extends some
two hundred miles out. there is a great
unknown region. knowledge of which
would greatly benefit the science of
meteoroloey.
Tho balloon with its recording appar-
atuS requires several hours to ascend to its
highest altitude, drifts horizontally for q
considerable period of time and may come
Gown at n great distance from its starting
point It's recovery by the sender depends
on the chance of its desc ept being noticed
and on the Willingness OF the finder to re-
tuIn it. Thus IL may bc days or weeks be-
fcre the record taken is made available.
On the other hand the new rocket ap-
paratus would go straight UP and come
straight down, the whole operation prob
ably consuming less than half an hour.
Thus daily observations ut any desired
altitude fer use in weather predictions
could easily be taken.
''The time OF ascent OF the rocket will be
very short, only six and one-half minutes
being required to carry the apparatus up
two hundred and thirty miles. somewhere
near the outer limit Of the earth's at
mosphere. The too rapid descent of the
recording instruments could, easily be
checked by the use of small parachute.
Professor Goddard is at present. under
q grant from the Smithsonian Institution,
perfecting the reloading mechanism where
by successive charges are inserted in the
explosion chamber during its upward
flight, and it is hoped shortly to be able
to demonstrate the practicablity and value
of this new type OF rocket
