RecoveryAttempt
OfSpoce Capsule

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE
BASE, Calf, Sept. 18 (AP).-
An attempt will be made by the
Air Force in from one to four
days to recover the now-orbit-
ing Discoverer space capsule.
The Discoverer was launched
from this base yesterday and
successfully scared into orbit
212 hours after blast-off. 1t was
the 31st Discovered launched
and the 22d to achieve orbit.
Five of the earlier capsules
were Snagged in the air as they
parachuted earthward. Three
others were picked up out Of the
ocean.
An Air Force spokesman said
an objective is to determine the
effect of space on human cells.
During this series, such cells
were placed in the capsules.
Yesterdays launching came
six days after the 30th satellite
in the series was successfully or
bited. After 33 polar orbits, the
300-pound space capsule was
Snagged in the air Thursday.

of the rocket in the immediate
proximity to the spot where
the first rocket, launched on
September Is this year,
landed" Tass said.
The firing was from an un-
disclosed point. but Tass said
the rocket travelled a distance
exceeding $4,000 kilometers
(7,500 miles. about he same
as that on September 13. The
September 13 rocket, the Rus
slams announced, landed less
than half a mile from target.
The target area is near the
Palmyra Islands more than
1000 miles southwest of Ha-
waii. The Soviet Union has
conducted two previous series
of shots into the same area.
Tass said there would be
other rockets fired in the pres
ent series.
There has been speculation
that the Russians are seeking
to perfect a carrier for huge
new H-bombs.
Evening star., 1961-09-18

the time aloft will be increased
to about the same as CoSmo-
naut Gherman S. Titov's 25-
hour mission in August.
Apollo-A, using the 1.5-mil-
lion-pound Saturn as its boost
er rocket, should be ready to
go (unmanned) about two years
from now, with manned flights
| probably in 1864. This giant
step into space will eventually
see three men in orbit for
periods up to three weekS-an
approach to the eventual estab-
lishment of permanent orbital
space stations.
Apollo-B will be the next step
forward for men, using a s.
million pound version of Sat-
urn called CO. 1t will loop men
up to and around the moon,
and back to earth. If the sched-
ule can be adhered to, this
should happen about 1866. At
some time later than that C1967
the optimists hope; 1869, the
realists believe; 1970-plus, the
pessimists fear) Americans will
be ready to land on the moon.
By the time they do so, their
spacecraft will have been well
tested in Apollo-A and B.
But much work remains to
be done, and many problems
remain to be solved. One of
the toughest from a strictly
chronological point Of view is
the problem of re-entry of the
craft into the earth's atmos-
phere on return from the moon.
Speed a Big Problem
1t is a fact of nature that it
takes a speed of $4,000 miles
an hour to break loose from the
earth's gravitational influence.
1t is also a fact that returning
from outside" generates an
equal speed. Sheer velocity is
no problem in outer space, but
at the top of the earth's atmos-
phere it can spell trouble.
H. Julian Allen of NASA's
AmeS Laboratory in California,
one of the worlds top experts
on re-entry problems, says this
is solvable but difficult.
This problem differs from
previous ballistic missile re-
entry work where we had only
to take friction and convection
heating into account" Mr.. Al
len says. "At these higher
speeds. extreme temperatures
are generated in the shock wave
just ahead of the re-entry body.
'Ihe gas in the shock wave be-
comes powerful source of di-
rect radiation. 1t is as If you
had a tiny sun out there in
front of you"
Dangers to Crew
The ordinary re-entry heat
ing effects at speeds up to-
about 10000 miles an hour
come almost entirely from con-
vection. They can be COPIED with
by using nose-cone materials
that boil off. CLASSY resins are
good for this. But many such
are transparent to
radiative heating and would not
protect against the tiny sun"
at all. Glass itself Is an ex-
ample; the hot sun radiates
heat through window al
though is does not warm the
pane.

Reds Fire I'd Rocket
Into Central Pacific

MOSCOW, Sept. 18 (AP).-
The Soviet Union announced
today the firing of another
long-range rocket into the
Central Pacific. 1t was the
second of the present series.
Tass, official news agency,
said the launching of the
multistage carrier rocket was
successful and "the flight of
the rocket and the functioning
of all its systems took place
in full conformity with the set
program.
THE high-precision control
system insured the landing of
the dummy of the last stage

Of the year a prime contractor
will have been chosen. In the
hands of the successful bidder
will rest the safety of the bold
est adventurers in American
history.
All II companies have de-
voted much energy and money
to- the study of the problems
involved in going to the moon.
Six are already intimately
identified with manned space
flight programs, and of these
six, three have conducted
NASA- A-financed studies of the
moon mission. The companies
represent every skill in the
space business and every sec
ton of the country; after the
prime contractor is selected,
the IL others will have i'm
portant roles in Operation
Moon.
No one yet knows exactly
what the spacecraft will look
like. but "conceptua1'' drawings
give an idea of its looks, and
certain structural limitations
pretty well dictate its size.
Quarters to Be Small
The first fact about the
Apollo spacecraft is that it will
offer its crew cramped quarters
at. best. At the Space Task
Group at Hampton, Va, where
supervision of the project is
presently centered. engineers
talk about three men and a
lot of equipment in a 10x10
foot room"
Everything the crew will
need must be carried inside
the craft-food, water, air, nav
igation instruments, everything.
There is nothing in space or on
the moon that they can use.
Engineers are hoping to build
a "shirt-sleeve" environment
into the 15,000-pound craft to
the crew can live something
like a normal life during the
trips six to IA days.
Many problems confront the
capsule designers. One is dan
gerous radiation in space. Much
will be needed before designers
know exactly what kind of
shielding and how much will
be required. A few optimists,
like Martin Co. Vice President
George S. Trimble, jr., think
the Misunderstanding prob
lem can be easily solved; many
others have serious doubts.
Most unknowns, including
deep-space radiation, will be
mysteries no longer by the time
the lunar landing mission is
ready to go. Some of these ques-
ton marks will be cleared up
by instruments aboard un-
manned vehicles in such pro-
grams as Ranger and Surveyor
on the moon, Mariner and Voy-
ager in deep space beyond the
moon, and such near-space
probes as Explorer XII,
launched last month. Thus the
varied programs of NASA in
terlock and feed into the
manned flight project.
Aid From Mercury Project
Certain other mysteries can
be solved by men only, in Prof.
eet Mercury and the early
stages of Project Apollo. Mer-
curry goes into its manned orbi-
tai phase in a few months, and
over a period of several flights
