Spaceship On Course For Soft Moon Landing

PASADENA. Calif. UPI — America’s three-legged Surveyor spacecraft — designed to pave the way for manned lunar landings — continued Wednesday on a near-perfect journey toward a soft landing in the moon’s Sea of Storms. The 2,194-pound robot, equipped to send back fine-line television pictures of its pre-selected target area, is expected to make a gentle touchdown at 11:17:34 p.m. (PDT) Wednesday (2:17:34 a.m. EDT Thursday) in a relatively smooth area on the west side of the moon just below its equator. Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who took control of the mission after its blastoff from Cape Kennedy, said the space vehicle had responded “flawlessly” Tuesday night to a midcourse directional change which placed it on a “bullseye” course. JPL spokesmen said Surveyor’s picture transmission will include hundreds and perhaps thousands of photographs before Its delicate instruments succumb to the intense heat — 260 degrees—of the moon’s day, or the freezing temperatures — 240 degrees below zero — when the lunar night occurs in about 10 days. The first picture, which could be released to the public within an hour of impact, will be of one of the probe’s metalcushioned legs. This will help scientists determine if the moon is covered by a layer of thick dust or whether its crust ia firm enough to safely support the manned Apollo spaceship. The first photo will be followed by a panoramic view as the camera scans the moon’s surface and transmits doseups showing details a sixteenth of an inch in size. U.S. geological experts think the pictures will be “slightly better” than those taken by Russia’s Luna 9 last February. Success of the mission would be a big step toward a landing by American astronauts on the moon as early as 1969.

Sections of Alabama had readings in the 40s. Below freezing temperatures were reported for the third straight day at Bradford, Pa. The weather bureau reported that an average temperature of 53.2 degrees at Dubuque, Iowa, during the month of May was the lowest in 59 years. Portions of eastern Kansas had the driest May on record.

SAIGON UPI — The U.S. Air Force launched its greatest effort of the war against North Viet Nam and smashed an eight-square-mile supply complex in the Red River valley 80 miles northwest of Hanoi, a U.S. military spokesman said today. Three U.S. jets — two F105 Thunderchiefs and an F4C Phantom — were lost to Communist ground fire in the massive attacks. One F105 pilot was rescued but the other was listed as missing along with the two crewmen aboard the Phantom. U.S. authorities kept the exact number of missions a secret, but said the jets struck at 105 warehouses and other buildings and at 20 antiaircraft sites protecting them. They wreaked heavy damage on the Yen Bay complex which sits astride the northwestern railway running between Hanoi and Communist China. The raids were launched the day after the Air Force teamed with Navy pilots to hit the Communist North with about 300 sorties — the greatest number since bombing raids were resumed against North Viet Nam Jan. 31 following the diplomatic pause. Gen. Blanchard Dies Suddenly WASHINGTON UPI —Gen. William H. Blanchard, vice chief of staff of the U. S. Air Force and one of its distinguished World War II officers, died of a massive heart attack at the Pentagon Tuesday. He was 50. Blanchard was stricken while attending a committee meeting and apparently died before he was taken to the Army dispensary in the Pentagon. The general, nicknamed “Butch,” had been the Air Force’s second-ranking officer since Feb, 1, 1965. As a young officer in Gen. Curtis E. LeMay’s Pacific command in 1945, Blanchard prepared the detailed operations order for the delivery of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

CAPE KENNEDY UPI — Technical difficulties at the last minute today forced postponement once again of the Gemini 9 flight of hard-luck astronauts Thomas Stafford and Eugene Cernan. Next possible launch of Gemini 9 was Friday. The mission was “scrubbed” at 12:42 p. m. EDT. Technicians had only six minutes to get Gemini off the pad to chase and catch a target satellite launched beautifully at 11 a. m. EDT. They missed the critical time period because guidance system data was not recording properly on a computer. Stafford and Cernan, already frustrated twice before in their efforts to get a Gemini 9 off the ground, were given the sad word they would have to wait another two days. “We try harder,” read a sign they carried to the elevator that took them to their capsule. But it would have to be try, try again on Friday. The target satellite already in orbit 185 miles up had difficulties of its own. Officials could not tell whether a protective shroud had separated on the 1,700-pound vehicle known as the “Glob.” If it failed to separate, Gemini 9 could rendezvous with it, but could not perform a link-up.

CAPE KENNEDY UPI — A target satellite soared into the sky on a tail of flame today to lead Gemini 9 astronauts, Thomas Stafford and Eugene Cernan, on a chase in space. They had a 98-minute wait for their own liftoff. The satellite went into orbit between 183 and 185 miles in space. It entered orbit 6 minutes and 12 seconds after liftoff, traveling at 16,320 miles an hour. “Good show,” Stafford said.

CAPE KENNEDY UPI _ Twice - frustrated astronauts Thomas Stafford and Eugene Veman were set to go for broke into space today. Scientists vowed to send them up for a round-the-world spacewalk even if destiny again cancels their rendezvous with a target satellite. The weather at the Cape was satisfactory, with the forecast for high clouds. Conditions at the emergency splashdown area in the Atlantic where the carrier Wasp waited with recovery crews was good. Waves were running a calm two feet. An electrical bug Tuesday night worried the technicians, but it disappeared when an Atlas battery was replaced. Officials feared the trouble could cause the same sort of short circuit that swiveled an Atlas engine out of control and plunged it into the Atlantic 15 days ago to spoil the Gemini 9 spectacular.
