The United States today sent
O monkey aloft IS miles in a
space capsule such as will be
used in later attempts to put
q man in space.
A Little Joe rocket carry
ing the capsule was fired at
Wallops Island, Va, at 11:15
am. The capsule. released
from its rocket, parachuted
into the Atlantic Ocean about
200 miles offshore and was
spotted by a Navy plane 80
minutes after the launching
The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration said
the destroyer Borie was speed
ing to the floating capsule and
probably would try a recovery.
Reporting here on the ex-
pertinent, NASA said that it
went smoothly.
A main purpose was to test
at high altitude an emergency
device for separating the cap
sule from the rocket.
Escape Rocket Tested
1t said the separating device
called an escape rocket
fired when the booster rocket
was at an altitude of 100000
feet. The escape rocket was
jettisoned at 10000 feet.
The capsule coasted on up
ward to a height of SIS miles.
When it had descended to an
altitude of 10000 feet, a small
parachute opened to stabilize
its descent. At 10000 feet. the
main parachute opened and
lowered the capsule into the
water.
NASA said the Milestone
radar station north of Boston
followed the capsule during its
entire flight. The agency said
radio telemetry aboard the ve-
hicle also functioned perfectly.

The monkey weighed seven
pounds and was 80 months old
It was named Sam for School

Among the experim e n t S

You cannot be sure of win
ming a heart trick if you play

East will win the first trick
