I Air Force To
“Shoot For The
lJU I Moon” In August
MILWAUKEE, UD — Lt. S. E.
Anderson, Director of the Air
Force Research and Development
Command, said the' Air Force
will “shoot for the moon” in
August.
Gen. Anderson said at a news
conference that the Air Force
would fire three “lunar 'probes”
this year. The others are sched
I uled for September and October,
I he added.
He declined to disclose the size
or weight of the payload the Air
Force hopes to deliver. It will
not be instrumented and will be
intended simply to crash on the
satellite, he said, giving “some
indication” of its arrival.
Three-stage rockets whose main
power plants at takeoff will be
modified Thor missiles will pro
pel the projectiles over a 278,000
mile course to the moon in two
and one-half days, Gen. Ander
son said.
The Thor is a 1,500 mile range
weapon. At least 13 have been
test fired and of these five have
been successful.
Gen. Anderson said that even
if the rockets miss the moon, they
will become “real interesting
scientific satellites” because their
eliptical orbits will carry them
far out into space and possibly
around the moon and earth in
a sort of figure eight.
f Gen. Anderson said that the
first attempt to fire, an Atlas over
its full designed range of 6,000
miles also would be made in
August. “We have fired the
last” of the overweight, heavily
instrumented series intended for
engine tests of the “Atlas, he said.
An Atlas missile, or a Thor
with appropriate later stages,
would be capable of hoisting in
to orbit a 3,000 pound artificial
satellite like the Russian Sput
nik II, Gen. Anderson said.
- Given sufficient funds, the
United States could be “second
to none,” adding: “we are doing
about 40 per cent of what we
think we should be doing.”
