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

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.
