To Attempt Recovery ; 01 Satellite Capsule J .- r VANDENBERG AIR FORCE ■ BASE, Calif. <UPl>—Ships and ' Air Force planes today attempt to recover from space a Discovj erer satellite capsule with a “hot 1 ' ' cargo of human and plant life, r exposed to radiation during a . record long journey. The 300-pound gold plated cap- , sule was loaded with samples of human and plant life as well as I electronic equipment to measure ; the effects of prolonged exposure ■ to radiation in the upper atmoi sphere. The radiation would be the ■ same man faces on his first space ■ flight. The capsule-bearing Discoverer! XVIII was launched here Wednes-I day. Maj. O. J. Ritland of the Air Force Ballistics Missiles Division said the capsule was to have covered more than 1,248,000 miles while orbiting the earth 48 , times from pole to pole during its 3-day trip. Recovery of the capsule was scheduled to occur in the saltiest “ball park” in the world—e 250-by-50-mile area of the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii. The 3-day orbit and recovery attempt was a record in the Discoverer series. The previous record was 31 polar orbits during a 2 - day voyage. Three capsules from previous Discoverers have been recovered. Scientists explained the long-or-bital period was to allow the plant and human Jife extra exposure to' radiation so they could study the results and gam new information for human space travelers. The extra exposure to radiation would make the capsule’s information more valuable, scientists said. They said the data would be added to the already bulging file on what human space travelers may expect in their pioneering efforts. Ejection of the capsule was to ! have been triggered electronically at about 6 p.m. EST by a but-ton-pushing scientist at the Sun-; nyvale, Calif., tracking statioq. i
