In another lecture it was noted
that under the best possible
conditions the earth satellite
which will be launched in July
might continue to circle around
this planet for as much as 10
years. DR.. Robert Jastrow, con-
sultant to the Office of Naval
Research. told the symposium
this would depend primarily on
getting the 2l-pound sphere into
the best possible orbit. He said
failure in the launching pro-
cedures will seriously affect the
time it can be kept in space.
Second. DR.. Jastrow pointed
out, nobody knows the content
of the space through which it
will move. This certainly will
not be a complete vacuum. The
satellite will be slowed down
by friction with cosmic dust,
with millions of sand-grain
meteors and gas molecules.
AS it is slowed down it will
drop into thicker regions where
there will be more friction which
eventually will reduce it to vapor.

their projects in a way that will

The recommendation, turned
over to committee for study, calls
for issuing certificates stating
that the builders project will

resources.
While the resolution did not
specify which agency would pro-
vide certification, it stated that
each certificate would have to be
