At Geophysical Year Start n PRANK fAHRV 1 Associated Press Science Reporter WASHINGTON I A missile named "Dan" actually a guid- cti missile wun a rocuci imai hiker will be used in a new attempt to probe one ot nature i greatest mysteries, soar "flares.' A Unm nf Nnvnl Research Lab oratory researchers disclosed today that 14 such missiles will be fired during 1957. The first 'ir ing, they said, is planned for July 1, the beginning oi ine interna tional geophysical year. Cir.A cnlor flarno nffir ntllv in frnnuitntlv thf initial firine mav not actually be made on that specific date. More Information Sought The Navy team reported to the American Rocket bociety that .tie Dan missiles will be ready to try for new Information on the "flares" which sometimes inter (ere with radio reception, cause sparking on telegraph wires and create a general disturbance of the earth s magnetic Held. The Dan. they said, is a. com bination of the Army's guided missile "Nike with a six-inch di ametcr rocket known as the "Dea' enn" Ihc Inttcr presumably re leased when the Nike reaches its maximum altitude. The Nkke alone has a range unofficially es timated at about 20 to 25 miles, and the Deacon's range Is esti mated at about 45 to 55 miles, giving a total conceivable altitude of some 75 miles for tne combi nation. Research Last Year Told Researcher T. A. Chubb and two associates made brief mention of the Dan plans in a prepared re port disclosing results of research on solar flares last summer. This research was done with another unusual combination a Deacon rocket carried as a hitch-hiker by a high-altitude balloon, This combination is known as a "Rock oon." A balloon carrys the Deacon to an altitude of about 15 miles and floats there until launched by a signal radioed from technicians below. Carries Instruments The rocket carries Instruments for detecting the effect of solar flares on the atmosphere,, and this is radioed hack to observers. Last summer's - studies, the scientists reported, were concen trated on the particular aspect of solar flares responsible for radio fadeout. The researchers said flares on the sun occur only infrequently and, since most of them last only 10 to 30 minutes, it s necessary to have a rocket in readiness for prompt firing. The hovering balloons provided such a system last year. This summer, the 14 longer range Dans arc scheduled to be fired from an unidentified Island base, presumably by remote control.
