GE Announces
New Powerful
Rocket Engine
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., UP>—
Another “basketball” satellite was
boosted into space by a Vanguard
rocket Thursday. Then, like its
two predecessors, it plunged back
to earth.
Failure of the Vanguard’s sec
ond stage to ignite was blamed
by the Naval Research Laboratory
for its failure to hurl the 20-inch,
21V& pound sphere into orbit.
The 72-foot Navy rocket now
has failed in five of its six ven
tures into space. Its only suc
cess was chalked up March 17,
when it launched the 3V£-pound
“grapefruit” satellite, tiniest of
the man-made moons circling the
earth.
Immediately in the wake of
this latest Vanguard disappoint
ment came cheering news from
General Electric Co. that it is
developing a new rocket engine
capable of launching a satellite
weighing as much as 20,000
pound—almost seven times bigger
than Russia’s Sputnik III.
This engine, the company said,
will generate from 500,000 to a
million pounds of thrust. This
compares with 45,000 pounds for
the Vanguard.
Components of the engine now
are being tested by the GE Rock
et Section at Malta, N. Y. It
will' be powered by liquid oxygen
and kerosene, the same fuels used
in the first stages of the Van
guard.
The latest of the tempermental
Vanguards blasted off at 12:01
a.m. after delays of 2V£ hours in
the countdown. It was the third
effort to get this particular rock
et off its launching pad.
Alaska Cruise Lines
Acquires New Vessel
If one vessel is good; two are
better. Operating on that prin
ciple, Charles B. West, president
of Alaska Cruise Lines, Ltd.,
has purchased the sister ship of
the SS Glacier Queen.
A year ago West bought Union
Steamship Company’s SS Coquit
lam, re-named it the SS Glacier
Queen and inaugurated a new
type of Alaska travel service.
Schedules were arranged so that
visitors could travel one way by
boat, one way by air and have
time to tour Interior and Western
Alaska. As a wholesaler of
Alaska tours, West packaged
tours with this in mind. They
were an immediate success.
Recently West’s company com
pleted the purchase of the sister
ship, the SS Chilcotin and it has
been re-named the SS Yukon
Star.
