Signal Failures Roise
Mercury Project Fears

A new threat to the Mercury
man-in-space program has
been discovered in the strange
misbehavior Of radio signals
from the big Atlas inter-conti-
mental ballistic missile.
Edward Niemann, jr. of
General Electric's missile and
space vehicle department, told
Of the trouble in a paper de-
liVered yesterday before the
American Rocket Society.
On several f1ringS of the
Atlas, Mr.. Niemann reported.
radio signals carrying infor-
nation on vital aspects of the
missiles performance failed.
Among the data that faded out
were signals telling of pressure
IN the rockets thrust chamber.
The drop-out came, Mr.. Me
mann said, when the vehicles
speed reached about $500 miles
an hour at attitudes below
about SIS miles. The signal
failure was almost instanta-
neous, and transmission re-
sumed as quickly, after an

SPACEMAN SEEN
IN LITTLE PERIL
FROM METEORS ,

A lot of dangers will
confront the Mercury as
tronauts when they go into
space. but being hit by a
meteor isn't one of them.
According to calculations
by Fred Sanders of Nc
Donnell Aircraft Corp, one
of the designers of the
Mercury space capsule, an
astronaut would have to be
in orbit for nearly 800
years before a meteor big
enough to penetrate his
capsule would come along.
Mr.. Sanders figures were
included in a paper on
Mercury capsule design pre-
sented before the American
Rocket Society.
A speck of eosmic dust
big enough to puncture the
capsules outer shield could
be expected once every
10000 orbits, or about once
in two years. But it would
be about 2.5 million orbits,
taken on the average, be-
fore one would puncture
the inner life supporting
capsule. The first Mercury
orbital mission calls for
three orbits, with a maxi
mum of 18 orbits possible
on later shots.

interval of several seconds Of
dead air."
Max Lowy of Data Control
Systems, Inc, Danbury, Conn,
who acted as chairman of the
session where Mr.. Niemann
spoke, said the phenomenon
could be a major problem for
the Mercury man-in-space pro-
gram.
Project Mercury envisions
the use of Atlas as a booster for
a manned space capsule. Space
Agency officials familiar with
the Mercury program have
minimized the likelihood of a
disaster resulting from an ex-
plosion of an Atlas in fight.
1t was recalled, however, that
abrupt change in chamber pres.
sure is one of the signals of i'm
pending trouble Mercury off,
cials say there is usually five
seconds warning between the
first trouble in the thrust cham
Der and an explosion. --
This period, they insist, would
be sufficient to allow the ground
control station to actuate an
abort" system which would
rocket the astronaut out of
danger.
If signals are lost for several
seconds during powered fight.
however, the trouble conceiv-
ably might be overlooked with
disastrous results, Mr.. Lowy in
dicated.
The strange drop-out, Mr..
Lowy said, appeared to be
caused in part by the electrifi-
cation of the extremely thin air
at those great heights. It oc-
Cured only at certain stages
OF the rockets fight. Speed
had a great deal to do with it
when the drop-out occurred, he
said.

The engineers said such re-
quirements will necessitate dar-
ing new research before the
first man ventures to the moon,
perhaps in 1870. Present equip
ment, they noted, is much too
big to be transported on a
rocket.
THE first moon traveller, :"
they said, will be stepping
uncertainty onto a dead sphere
which may not support the
lowest form of life. -
He therefore will have to
depend on support equipment

Another AIRS member asked
for the latitude and longitude
of the launching site for the
second moon rocket. The

First Participation
Aside from a film presenta-
ton and question period on
Monday night, this was the
first time that Russians had
participated in an American
scientific meeting. Soviet scien-
lists including DR.. Blsgonravov
were present at an Interna-
tional Geophysical Year meet
ing here in October, 1857, on
the eve of Sputnik rs launch
ing.
The American papers pre-
sented were delivered by mem
bers of the National Aeronautic
and Space Administration and
associated scientists.

neither the papers nor the pa

Lean Answers
The Russian part of the pro-
gram was preceded by three
American papers. BY the time
the last scientific paper had
been read, the moderator, DR..
Abe Silverstein of the National
Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration, noted that the
hour was growing late. He
asked that questions be kept to
q minimum.
Though there were ques-
tioners aplenty, the answers
were minimal. And though the
Soviet scientists had been rep
resented in advance as well
coming questions from the
floor, their answers left some
Rocket Society members dis
satisfied.
One scientist asked whether
the computer used to guide the
Soviet moon rocket Lunik II
was mechanical, electrical or
otherwise" An interpreter for
DR.. Sedov said, "On the first
stage of the flight the most
modern means were employed" "

Even in an artificial en-

clared, "he will not be able to
survive long because of lin
tied supplies Of available power
and resources. His life will de-
pend ultimately on the ability
of his space craft to return him
to earth on schedule before he
overstays his chances for sur

To create such radically ad-
vanced equipment, the papers
said, most engineers will find
it necessary to develop a COM
pletely new sense of values.

agreed.
Instead. the spaceman's home
will probably be an inflatable
plastic encloSure-a balloon
like object with a sweeping view
of lunar scenery.
According to the scientists,
the enclosure will house both
men and machines.

protect its occupants from
