Research. The latter organiza-
ton in9ugurated unnamed sky
hook flights nearly 10 years ago.
Both men are professional
meterologists. They themselves
become human scientific record
ing instruments, probably the
most important on board. Al
most nothing is known of the
physical and mental effects on
man of a prolonged sojourn at
great attitudes.
Every heart beat of the two
Navy officers throughout q four
hour voyage in an open gondola
was radioed to ground observers
by means Of a broadcasting elec-
trocardiograph developed by the
Nays Medical Research Insti-
tute. Flat disk electrodes, each
a little larger than a shirt but
ton. were glued on their chests.
Each wore an amplifier, about
the size Of a cigarette pack, and
a short range, light weight radio
transmitter. Besides heart beats,
both pluse and respiration were
broadcast and picked up by OBJ
servers on the ground.
Through Ice Crystal Sea-
In their pioneer voyages they
hav been only a few miles from
the bottom-or perhaps it should
be called the top" by earth
ling. of the upsidedown air
ocean. They enter the strato-
sphere at an altitude of about
$4,000 feet through a bank of
cirrus clouds, the light, feathery
white clouds composed largely of
tiny ice crystals, which float at
the top Of the troposphere. or
that part of the atmosphere
where the higher one goes the
lower the temperature.
This. they say. was one Of the
unforgettaSle experiences of a
lifetime. They had supposed that
the ice crystals of such a cloud
we're fairly close together. In
stead they were from two to
four inches apart. 1t was like
passing through a snow storm of
diamonds, rubies and emeraldS
as the extremely bright sunshine
was reflected from facets of the
crystals. each of which was
about twice as big as the head Of
apin.
For several minutes they were
immersed in this diamond snow
storm. This phenomenon, so
far as known. has not hitherto
been reported. Others, it is
quite probable. have passed
through these glitter'ng gates to
the infinite, but in planes moving
SO rapidly that no impression
was made on them.
They emerged from the crys-
tai clouds into a never-never
realm. an inverted bowl of trans
cendental light. Visibility in the
crystal-clear. intensely illumin-
ated air was limitlesS from hori-
ION to horizon. These horizons
were violet. The sky above was

that it is the farthest of the

"Sky Hook" Balloons
Already the Navy, through the
Office of Naval Research, which
will be a major cooperating or
ganization in the geophysical
year program, is sending its man.
carrying ships through the lu-
minous shoals of diamonds.
These ships are superliners mil
lion cubic feet in volume, with
shells only two-thousands of an
inch thick and with a maximum
carrying capacity of 10 men,
crew and passengers. They are
titanic "sky hooks"-plastic bal
looms to which are attached
spherical aluminium gondolaS.
Some day great battles may be
fought in the changless sea in
the sky. Some day it may carry
considerable portion of the
worlds commerce. The ICY in
terest, however. is in pure scien-
tif1c research. The gondolas are
man-carrying space laboratories.
For the present they will have
crews of two or three men, with a
great variety of scientific equip
ment. They can stay in the STRAIT
oSphere as long as necessary for
the scheduled observations or as
long as the crews, who look like
visitors from another planet in
their space uniforms, can endure
the nervous tension.
Everything But Comfort
Several sky hook stratosphere
voyages have been made already
The first were in fiberglass
baskets, open to the elements
which was attached to the great
balloon. Now the ascents are
made in a closed platinum gon-
Idola which supposedly for safety

MONDAY, but either very briefly
or moving at very great speeds
The StratolabS, as the new sky
liners are called. can stay aloft
as long as desired. The crews can
float around at leisure, but with
very little ability to steer the
cumbersome craft. They must 60

winds take them. They can, how

largely of rising and dropping to
take advantage of the courses OF

to go.

to simulate the satellite flight as

When the satellite itself is

Florida, its passage will be
picked up for the first time. ac-
cording to the best calculations,
when it passes over the British
island of Antigua. 1t will be
four hours before it passes over
the next tracking station. Based
on calculations from the infor-
nation received from Antigua,
extremely accurate calculations
will be made of its position
every minute during this four
hours.
The calculations also will pre-
dict its position for "a hours.
These, however, will be subject
to correction based on informa-
ton from the next center. and
so on for the complete passage

The passage also will be OBJ
