Canaveral Atlas
Succeeds; Thor
_ Proves A Dud
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., UP) —
A mighty Atlas logged its first
successful flight in more than five
months and a Thor exploded sec
onds after launching in a spectac
ular Mississippi show early to
day.
The Atlas rumbled 5,550 miles
down the Atlantic missile range
shortly after midnight and a re
covery ship plucked its nose cone
from the ocean an hour later. Two
hours after the Atlas launch, the
Thor ruptured in a brilliant
blowup high in the sky.
The Air Force announced that
the Range Safety Officer destroy
ed the Thor when his instru
ments detected a malfunction. It
appeared the missile failed to halt
its upward climb in the normal
period.
The recovery of .the Atlas nose
cone off Ascension Island was a
first for this missile. Thor-Able
simulated warheads have been
retrieved from the water in this
area, but previous Atlas pay
loads eluded searchers.
The Air Force will study the
cone to see how it withstood the
tremendous heat it encountered on
re-entry to the earth’s atmosphere
from a height of 300 miles.
