BLAST OFF OR SCRUB-When the count
down hits zero, everything is ready Pressure is
brought up in the fuel tanks to force the fuel
out, and the engine is ignited. When the count
down is cancelled before blastoff, rocketmen
borrow an Air Force slang expression to say the
mission is scrubbed" or washed out.
FIRST SECOND THIRD STAGE ROCKETS
There is no sense in carrying empty fuel tanks up
Also some fuels burn better at higher attitudes
than others. Some rockets are built in stages so
empty fuel tanks can be dropped and the rocket
can continue on, using the best engine and fuel
for its particular altitude.
ICBM-This as most people now know, is the
intercontinental ballistic missile. 1t is rocket
carrying an explosive warhead that can reach
some $500 miles, spanning continents. The Air
Force has two planned-the Titan, built by Martin
Co. and due soon out of the design stage, and
the Atlas, built by Convair, which has been
successfully fired at short range.
IRBM-The ICBMs smaller brother is an
intermediate range ballistic missile. 1t can be
used for ranges of about $500 miles. The Army
Jupiter and the Air Force Thor are both expected
to be in use soon. The Navy Polaris, the biggest
solid fuel ballistc missile in our arsenal is being
fight tested.
OhbII-An orplt is simply pain around
another object-for example the path Of the first
United States satellite, Explorer, around the EARTH
In order to get into orbit satellite must reach
very high speeds. A rocket, for example,
going 1000 miles an hour would only fall back
to earth as soon as its fuel ran out. Just as an
ICBM falls back to its earthly target.
But high speed has built-in ability to defy
gravity This is called centrifugal force. Try this
experiment to get the idea: Tie a kew to n niece
Of string. Hold the other end of the string,
letting the key hang free. Then twirl the string
and key. The faster the twirl, the harder the key
tries to pull away, to fly out. The string, like
gravity holds it in an orbit around your fingers.

A PRIMER FOR PARENTS

that his position as an authority. on all things

Associated Press Science Writer John A. Barbour
has compiled this dictionary-or pony" If you

should put all but the densest parents back on
juniors tOavelength.
ROCKET-A rocket is designed to break into
space and leave the atmosphere of the earth
behind. Ordinary gasoline and Jet engines breathe
air to get the oxygen to burn their fuels-much
as you'd fan air into a charcoal fire. rocket
engine carries its own oxygen, well as its fuel
and so can travel in places where ordinary engines
would smother for lack of air.
rocket is usually composed of engine fuel
tank and instruments. 1t can be used for studying
upper atmosphere and space or perhaps to launch
a satellite. When it carries an explosive war
head, it is more correct to call it missile.
ROCKET ENGINE-Most of rocket is taken
up by its fuel and engine. In liquid fuel rocket
the engine looks something like an overturned
Spittoon. Into this chamber are spit the liquid
oxygen or other oxidizer and the fue-for instance
kerosene. The two are then ignited and the
explosion thrusts the rocket forward-like a fire.
cracker raises tin can. In the rocket, the
burned gases, some still afiame, pour out of the
open end of the spittoon.
In rockets using solid fuels like burning
gunpowder, the fuel is usually packed along the
sides of the burning chamber

especially, loading the fuel and checking the
various valves, pipes and instruments before firing

ably less preparation is needed. But whatever
checking and pre-firing operations are needed
are done in an organized manner. This is the
count down. Count downs are conducted by the
clock. Thus there is a measure of the expected
time before firing and a schedule by which each
item is checked of as 1t is completed.

Mr.. Mahon suggests. These

eventually provide the objectivity

While the large part of his
daily work concerns the where

Mahon is aware that building big

Our secret weapon. he says, may
lie in the tremendous industrial

o The regulation Of areas be-
yond territorial space and rules for
fight passage and conduct through
them.
Right now there are no rules to
govern such matters. Nobody
knows at what points a Sputnik
leaves the USSR or an Explorer
leaves the United States to enter
free space--if there is any such
thing. Nobody knows the owner
ship Of craft in space or who is
responsible for its conduct-if any,
one is. Nobody knows what re-
strictions or requirements, if any,
should follow space craft through
the void.
Serious specific difficulties in
space have already occurred or are
imminent.
What about the radio broadcast
frequencies used by Russia's
Sputniks? These 20 and 40 mega
cycle transmissions were long ago
allocated for other uses in various
parts Of the world by multilateral
treaty. The Sputnik ''beep" might

lance may well clash with the
interests and laws of other ma
tons. In fact. a similar device
in a foreign satellite would be
quite likely to conflict with United
States statutes prohibiting the

installations from above. But
who is to say at present what the
United States may or may not do
with satellites DRIFTING 1000 miles
or SO away?
Could Reduce Tension
Only Russia and the United
States have thus far demonstrated
a capacity to utilize outer space,
and no country has shown an
ability to counter or destroy the
space vehicle Of another. But we
know the counterpunch is on its
way, that the anti-satellite or
anti-ICBM missile will eventuate.
So, as space-minded lawyers are
pointing out, it is important to
get generally acceptable space
code in operation before then.
Otherwise some trigger-happy
nation-annoyed. frightened, or
in a spirit of contest or conquest
may plunge the world into con-
fiict by blasting the spacecraft of
other nations into cosmic dust.
If anarchy exists in space, this
will clearly be much more likely
to happen than if the nations

were greeted by q message from
the President.
I'VE need" said Mr.. Eisenhower.
"a broader understanding and
knowledge of the natural forces
which man seeks to bring under
benevolent control"
None of these forces" is more
exciting or more complex than
mans new-found ability to use
and explore space. Nor is any
likely to prove more difficult to
control.
That the activities Of men be-
yond the bounds of earth must
come under some sort Of control
is generally recognized. Proof is
on all sides. particularly in de-
rnands for "outlawing" space as
q medium for making war.
Aside from recognizing the OBJ
vious threat of missiles or other
destructive machines which may
function in space. however, few
have acknowledged the peculiar
immediacy Of the space control
problem. Fewer still seem to
have probed its nature very deeply
or to understand that the lack of
a space code may itself be dam
ger as menacing as the Develop
ment of modern military wea-
pons.
Among those thinking about
space control are John Cobb
Cooper, dean of American air law
and director of the Institute for
International Air Law at McGill
University. and Representative
Kenneth Heating of New York,
ranking minority member of the
House Judiciary Committee.
In April. 1856. Mr.. Cooper made
the point before the American So
ciety for International Law. This
existing legal hiatus Tin space
can lead to grave international
misunderstanding if permitted to
continue too long"
On January 81, just few hours
before the United States Army's
Explorer went into orbit, Mr..
Heating voiced similar concern
to the annual meeting Of the New
York State bar association. If we
wait until the collisions occur be-
fore we devise the rules Of the
road, there may be no hope for the
settlement Of the clashes by q rule
Of law. The rule Of law in the
age Of space is not a matter of
philosophy, but matter Of sur
vival."
The Beginning Problems
According to experts in the field
and there are only q handful
the beginning basic problems
which must be handled in the for
mutation of space code are:
. The national territorial status
Of flight space used in the launch
ing, landing or passage of Satel-
lites, missiles or other space craft.
. The legal status Of these craft
once they are beyond the terri
torial space of the launching ma
ton.

Senate Pressure

In the Senate on Tuesday. Min
nesota's liberal Senator Hubert H.
Humphrey called on the President
to soften his stand on the issues
involved in disarmament negotia-
tons with the Russians. The Sen
ator, who heads the Senate
Subcommittee on Disarmament,
called the Administrators stand
lunduly rigid. negative, and lack
ing in realism. He urged that the
Dulles disarmament position be
separated into smaller compo-
nents. with negotiations Of these
points individually rather than
on an "all-or-none" basis.
The Humphrey speech was
widely regarded as indicating q
deep Democratic unhappiness with
