Snark Successfully
Launched, Landed
In 2,000-Mile Test
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.. UFi —
The Air Force fired a Snark in
tercontinental guided missile yes
terday on what reportedly was a
highly successful round trip flight
close to 2,000 miles.
It was learned that the sleek
missile dropped back smoothly
onto the Cape landing strip after
a fiery pre-dawn launching. The
weapon was equipped with spe
cial landing skids so it could be
recovered.
The firing was conducted by
veteran Strategic Air Command
crewmen of the 556th Guided Mis
sile Squadron, the first unit that
will work with the Snark under
operational conditions.
The weapon used on yesterday’s
flight logged a similar round trip
without a hitch several months
ago.
The shoot was part of the close
out phase of development for the
Snark which is expected to be de
ployed at its first operational site
in Presque Isle, Maine, in the
next few months. About 20 bases
are planned for the Snark.
The Snark is slow in speed —
it cruises at 600 m.p.h.—but it
has the ability to loop and zig
zag in flight to dodge enemy de
fensive measures.
