Battlefield Radio Satellite,
Hitchhikers Shot Into Orbit
By AL ROSSITER Jr.
CAPE KENNEDY (UPD—
The Air Force used its
mightiest rocket early today to
drive an experimental battle
field radio satellite and three
scientific hitchhikers toward an
orbit some 22,000 miles high.
The spectacular predawn shot
marked another step in the
Defense Department’s efforts to
perfect a tactical communica
tions satellite system able to
relay orders to soldiers in the
field from command centers
thousands of miles away.
Although the three scientific
satellites went along only on a
"space available” basis, one
was expected to make the first
comprehensive study of a

stationary orbit.
The 879-pound bundle of
sapcecraft left earth at 3:37
a.m., EDT on a Titan 3C rocket
that illuminated the spaceport
with a long, geyser-like trail of
fire from its twin booster
rockets.
The triple-barreled Titan first
soared with precision into a
preliminary, parked orbit about
100 miles high.
Its third stage, acting like an
orbiting switch engine, then
zoomed from the initial path
into a cigar shaped one
reaching 22,297 miles high.
Five hours later, the rocket
was to fire another burst from
its twin engines to switch into

when Chase Manhattan Bank
dropped its prime rate to 6 per
its final circular staionary path
22,240 miles high.
In a stationary orbit, a
satellite’s orbital speed matches
earth’s rottion and the space
craft appears stationary over
one point on earth.
The Titan’s principal payload
was a 360-pound drum shaped
communications satellite built
by the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT). It will

messages to battlefield units,
ships at sea and aircraft in

TOO MANY CATS
OAKLAND, Calif. UPD—
Davis H. Brown, 47, won a
divorce Thursday on grounds of
extreme cruelty because his
wife loves cats. He said she
kept as many as 60 at a time

Mrs. Brown told the court she
now has only 15 cats and three
dogs. She was given a Joint
decree of divorce because her
husband stayed away from
home at night.
