Army Is Preparing For
Sun-Orbit Launching
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Iff)
— Visibly- increased activity in
the launching area of a modified
Jupiter rocket indicated yester
day that the Army was preparing
to fire its first space probe soon.
Workmen could be observed
moving about the area, upon
which attention has centered since
Tuesday when the Jupiter was al
lowed to stand free of its service
tower for some time.
The rollback of the tower was
one indication that prelaunch
checks of the missile were under
way.
In Washington 10 days ago,
however, the Associated Press re
ported that the Army planned to
try a Juno II space launch — a
Jupiter intermediate range ballis
tic missile topped by 15 smaller
rockets clustered in three stages
— during a week’s period start
ing December 6.
Army and Defense Department
officials have announced that in
its forthcoming attempt the Army
wlli aim for the moon in the al
most certain knowledge that it
will miss that small target.
The hope is to send a small in
strumented probe out past the
moon into an orbit around the
sun.
