Discoverer
No. 23 Goes
IntoOrbit

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE
BASE, Calf, April 8 (AP).-
The 23d Discoverer satellite
went into orbit today with a
secret payload.
The second stage of the 81
foot tall projectile was identical
in appearance to those of Midas
and Samos Space-spy satellites
"a 2,450-pound, 25-foot long
orbital vehicle called Agena B.
The Air Force declined. how
ever, to say whether the Sec
ond stage of today's rocket car
ried any experimental Midas
or SamoS gear.
When perfected, Midas satel-
lites will be able to detect
enemy missile launchings by
Spotting the heat of their ex-
haust. Samos satellites will
carry cameras far superior to
those in the U-2 plane shot
down by the Russians last
spring.
Today's rocket has in its
nose a 300-pound capsule
which will be elected after one
to four days in orbit. AS it
parachutes down near Hawaii,
planes will try to catch the
capsule in the air.
If they fail the capsule is to
be fished from the ocean.
The giant rocket shot into
a clear sky at about 1921 am.
Three previous Discoverer
capsules have been caught in
midair. A fourth was retrieved
from the sea-,
