Navy Satellite
Attempt Lands
In Atlantic
CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla., UP)—
The Navy’s latest Vanguard sat
ellite rocket roared off to a grand
start Monday night but splashed
into the Atlantic Ocean 1,500
miles later when it fizzled in
flight.
A 20-inch sphere, equipped
with delicate instruments to
study x-rays shooting from the
sun, is in the depths, but the
Navy says it did gain some im
portant information from the
abortive flight.
Conditions were just about per
fect at the missile test center
when the sleek ' rocket surged
from its launching pad.
There was a brief pause, then
the slim Vanguard took off with
a thunderous roar. It rose stead
ily, curved to a level path after
10 seconds and streaked over the
Atlantic.
The Navy reported 20 minutes
after the successful launching
that the third stage of the ve
hicle—powered by a solid fuel
propellant—failed to ignite. Van
guard never came close to the
18,000 m.p.h. velocity necessary to
boost a satellite into Orbit.
