FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Bid Republicans balked at Explorer VII Is In Orbit CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (,P)—The United States launch ed one satellite into orbit around the earth yesterday and, in a dramatic new experiment, fired a missile across the path of another. Explorer VII, a 91 1 / 2 -pound "gyroscope" s to study cosmic radiation and oth er rnytseries of space, was hurled into a low orbit by a Juno II rocket. It was another step in the program to send a man into space within two years Earlier, a 847 jet bomber fly ing over the cape fired a 37-foot Bold Orion missile across the path of the Explorer VI "Paddle Wheel" satellite. The shot could lead to development of air launched missiles to knock down enemy satellites. The Paddle Wheel was at the low point. of ifs orbit at an altitude of 146 miles and streak ing through the skies at 26.000 miles an hour when the Bold Orion was launched. Ii was aimed to pass 10 miles in front of the satellite. A reliable source said the Bold Orion sped 10 miles upward, reaching a point four miles above the satellite, then fell into the At lantic 1,000 miles northeast of here. In Washington, the Air Force' issued a cautiously worded state ment saying "preliminary evalu-I ation indicates the mission was successfully accomplished." Pentagon officials said it might take several days to study and analyze all the data obtained from the missile it self and to coordinate that in formation with observations made from ground stations. The "gyroscope" so named be- t cause it looks like the whirling devices used to stabilize planes in flight, was placed in an orbit that carries it as far as 664 miles! from the earth and as close asi 346 miles. It is expected to re main up 20 years. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Wash- 1 ington said the satellite completed its first circuit of the earth in 101 ( minutes. It was sending back in formation on the various hazards man will encounter when he first ventures into space. Its most important task was to probe the lower levels of the bands of radiation. An NASA scientist said the or bit is "better than we planned." Dr. Homer Newell Jr. said the satellite was aimed at an orbit ranging from 700 miles at its out ermost point to 340 miles at the nearest. Newell said the more circular orbit attained is an advantage from - the standpoint of the num ber of experiments carried.
