The Kennedy administration

He added that the Govern

The most serious problem in
attaining these objectives is the

is so important that President

Astronaut John H. Glenn,

earth three times and became
q legend instantly. q new hero
whom the United States estati-
cally embraced as a symbol OF

New Data Expected
Two other men have expert
enced orbital flight, the Rus
SLAMS Yuri Gagarin and Cher

John Glenn's flight proved
that man can survive for at
least short periods in the
eerie weightless environment of
space. and that he can operate

Col. Glepns ride. What he
and other astronauts learn in
the next few years will ease
the path which future Ameri-
can spacemen win take to the
moon late in this decade-and
eventually to Mars, Venus and
other planets.
Comdr. Carpenters assign
ment basically is the same as
Col. Glenn's. The flight pro-
file calls for him to whirl three
times around the globe in four
hours, 56 minutes at the in
credible speed Of 1880 miles

But many changes have been
introduced, some Of them to
correct problems which cropped
up on Col. Glenns flight. 9th

Manual Operation Needed
Near the end Of Col. Glenn's
first orbit, the automatic con-
troll system in his capsule mall
functioned slightly. Two small
jets which emit streams of
hydrogen peroxide gas to help
keep the spacecraft properly
oriented became clogged.
This caused the capsule to
drift off the planned attitude
and Col. Glenn took over
manual control Of the craft
during the last two orbits, con-
clusively demonstrating that
man is better than machine in
space. Without q human pilot,
the capsule would have been
ardered to the ground after the
second orbit, Just as Enos the
champanzee was when his craft
developed similar problems in
a preliminary Project Mercury
flight last November.
