The Navy in Washington announced 20 minutes after the rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., that "the vehicle did not attain the speed required to send an object into orbit around the earth." A statement issued at the Pen tagon, based upon preliminary r readings of data received by the. Naval Research Laboratory, said that "test range instruments indi [ rated successful operation of the rocket's first two stages. How ever, the third stage did not fire." An attempt to place a fourth' U.S. satellite—the biggest one to date—in the heavens flopped last night at Cape Canaveral when the third stage failed to fire cor rectly. The 72-foot missile carrying a 21-pound satellite left its launching pad at exactly 9:53 e.s.t., soared to about the 300- mile mark and then died. A Navy bulletin said that since the third stage did not fire, the vehicle could "not attain the speed required to send an object into orbit." This announcement followed af ter Jialf an hour a Mac y Radio bulletin from New York that their receivers had picked up the first signals from the man-made moon's transmitters. The 20-inch gold-plated satel lite was carrying instruments to record the x-ray output of the sun especially during solar flares. This information was to be broadcast back to earth and would have been of vast prac tical value in solving the mys tery of why short-wave radio reception on earth fades out, often for hours, when solar flares erupt with the power of a million li-bombs. They may have told also if the sun's x-rays play a part in the formation on earth of such vio lent storms as hurricanes and tor nadoes. The rocket faded out of view after three minutes and appeared `o be successful, the Navy said. The launching had been post poned twice last week after sci mtists ran into minor snags. The Navy said that informa tion gained from Monday night's flight, when the first 'tage left the launching pad 7cessfully and the second /age rocket apparently fired, will he used in the launching of additional scientific earth said. lite rockets during the remain• der of the International Geo physical Year.
