SCIENTIFIC UNIT Continued From Page 1 date of the launching but said it would not be before next Thurs day. The shiny 135-foot sphere, as thll as a 13-story building, weighs 500 potinds. It is 35 feet greater in diarrieter and nearly four times as heavy as the original 100-foot, 136-pound Echo I launched Aitg. : 12, 1960. The National Aeronautics and ,[ Space Administration (NASA) 3aid two cameras will accompany he sphere aloft to “provide new T and unusual means” of observ- j trig its ejection from the rocket L rose and subsequent inflation. A Thor rocket will hurl the Sphere into the sky some time - ietween 6 and 7 a. m. EST. The ) balloon is expected to soar about , 950 miles up and 600 miles down ; range from the Cape, Both rock- ; et and balloon are expected to ! burn up on descent through the atmosphere. But one of the cameras, sealed in a protective capsule, will para- *1 chute into the sea 250 miles 1 northeast of San Salvador about 30 minutes after launch. It will I be picked up by Air Force re- ' covery units. About 150 miles above the earth j on the way up, the 70-pound can- ! ister containing the folded sphere j will be ejected from the head of j the rocket. At about 230 miles it will release the balloon, which will be inflated by an evaporat- i ing powder. NASA said that at this altitude j the balloon will be caught in the rays of the sun and will be visi ole, if weather conditions are right, all along the east coast of Florida and as far north as Southern Georgia. ib ouvsu-iv( xxi, ^cai\ visible throughout the eastern United States as a very bright : star in the Southern sky. A chem- i teal coating applied for tempera ture control purposes gives the sphere a faintly green tint. Special controls will keep the i two cameras pointed at the in- j flating sphere during flight. One, | a television camera, will permit f, scientists at Cape Canaveral to observe the process for about 20 minutes. The other, specially de signed for this test, will shoot 1 about 400 feet of film for about # 12 minutes. This is the one NASA ] hopes to recover. Addition information will be ;j obtained by ground cameras and s radars and by radio from the • rocket. The original "Echo, whose alum- ■ inized plastic skin is about half . ; as thick as the wrapper of a cig- j arette package, is still going j strong after more than 16 months j in orbit. It is still useful for reflecting j radio signals in communication ;; experiments. But it is only about j 40 per cent as reflective as it was in the first weeks of its life be cause of wrinkling of its skin and loss of shape. The new Echo is made of two layers of thin aluminum foil with a plastic film between them. Its skin is about two ten-thousandths! of an inch thicker than Echo I’s, > and it is expected to retain its smooth spherical shape in space. NASA expects to launch the first of the new Echo satellites into a 700-mile-high polar orbit from the Pacific missile range with a Thor-Agena B rocket in the April-May-Jurie period. Then, in 1963, the agency plans to launch three Echo spheres at ,j once with an Atlas-Agena B. This , 1 multiple launch program is known j j as Project Rebound. --- Read The Want Ads Lunchroom Menu For Shaflotte Following is the lunchroom rherili for Shhllotte High School ; for the next week: Thursday, January ft, cream turkey, mashed potatoes, cftle j ilhW, chedSe sticks, ripe olives, CPokie, biscuit, butter ahd milk; Friday, January 12, meat halls and spaghetti with totnato 'and cheese satice, biitterbeans and corn, fruit jeilo (pineapple), bis cuit. butter and milk; lifonday, January IS, luncheon ftieht, Cheese toast, letttice and fresh tomato slices, apple cobbler, milk artd butter; TUebbay, January 16. riVen cooked chlckeh, Whole kernel corn and diced Sweet pepper, frdSh orange, cheese stjuhres, bisciiit and biittCr, milk. tVedtie’sd'ay, January 17, hot dogs with chili, mustbPH and onions, dry lima beans, cocohiit cake squares, milk; Thursday.
