ing so and the youngest will be

Chrysler's proposal comes at
a time when not only is Red
stone riding high as a space
vehicle, but the corporations
role in the space business is
diminishing. Chrysler's missile
division has been making Red
stones since 1856 at the Michi-
gan Ordnance Missile Plant, 20
miles north of Detroit.
At peak employment. the
plant hired more than 10000
persons. About 5000 are work.

BY WILLIAM HINES
Star Science Writer

The makers of the Mercury
boosting Redstone are urging
that this reliable old rocket be
made the '"T-33 Of the Space
Age"
Under a proposal now being
drafted by the Chrysler Corp.
Redstones would continue to be
made indefinitely so that AS
tronauts of the future could
get their first space rides on
boosters of proven quality. Use
Of the Redstone for this sort
Of familiarization space flight
would be analogous to the
transition training given Air
Force pilots in the jet-powered
T-33 airplane before assigning
them to trickier craft.
Spurred by Rocket Ride
Chrysler officials began work.
ing on what they term an "un-
solicited proposal" almost i'm
mediately after Astronaut Alan
B. Shepard'S highly successful
space ride three weeks ago. At
a press conference May 8,
Comdr. Shepard spoke affec-
tionally of "the old Redstone"
which he said was smooth
enough so that it was a very
pleasant lift-off."
The Chrysler proposal is be-
ing prepared for the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration, which is officially in
charge of manned space flight
programs. However, q company
official said the proposition
might also be Of interest to the
Air Force in connection with
its new space research pilot
course"
Cost Aspect
No precise cost figures we're
available. Chrysler officials said
unit cost would depend on the
size Of the order. However, 1t
was understood that the Red
stone booster part of a Mer-
curry space flight assembly
could be produced in reason
able numbers for about $780,
Evening star., 1961-05-25

900 each. An upper section con-
tanning guidance would cost a
similar amount, while the Mer-
curry space capsule itself would
run into the millions.
The manned capsule would
probably be reusable several
times. if post-flight tests on
the Shepard capsule are any
indication. The booster and
guidance section almost Ger
tainly would not be reuSable,
Chrysler officials said.
Thus, each space ride would
cost at least a million dollars,
plus an amortiZing share Of the
capsules cost, plus the money
involved in running a rescue
and-recovery mission. 1t is
understood that the recovery

Mercury launching constituted
the greatest single item of the
day.
Land Recovery Cheaper
Though the suggestion will
not be included in Chrysler's
letter to NASA, a corporation
executive said the cost of
suborbital familiariZation rides
could be reduced sharply by
eliminating sea recovery. This
could be done. in Chrysler's
view, by using White Sands
Missile Range in New Mexico
instead of Cape Canaveral.
White Sands is an inland test
base with q maximum usable
range of 120 miles. The Red
stone has been tested and
fired under tactical conditions
there on numerous occasions.
The ride. taken by Comdr.
Shepard covered a horizontal
distance Of about 800 miles,
with miximum altitude of
lis miles, and took Is minutes,
giving the Astronaut about five
minutes of weightlesSness. By
re-programming the missile,
Chrysler engineers say, the
duration of weightlesSness and
total flight could be kept the
same, with the range being
reduced to 100 miles and the
altitude increased to about 200
miles.
Mercury flights mapped to
date call for landings on water.
However, each capsule is de-
signed to withstand the force
of a parachute landing on dry
land.
| NO NASA nCdCtlOH
No immediate NASA reaction
to the Chrysler proposal was
Forthcoming. The Space Agency
has not announced plans for
the training Of Astronauts
beyond the seven men now in
the Mercury program. and there
are deemed to be sufficient
rockets marked for Mercury to
satisfy these demands.
1t is obvious. however, that
more Astronauts will be needed
for later phases of NASA's
program. BY 1870, when space
flight is expected to be fairly
routine, the eldest of the
present Astronauts will be push
