BABY WEEK Of Man Outlined Psadena, Calif. -(LTD Plans for robots which will explore the moon in advance of man have been outlined by a top scientist of the National Aero nautics and Space Administra tion. Dr. A. R. Hibbs of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory here said the main problem in the project is figuring out "how to get a lot of informa tion with the simplest equip ment." Long-Range 'Exploration The 34-year-old chief of JPL's research section is one of a nine - man "working group" recently appointed by NASA to conduct major long range scientific exploration of the moon's surface and envir onment." Two kinds of robots prob ably will be used as the main lunar explorers in the pro gram. Hibbs said-"sophistica-ted lunar satellites and instru ments payloads that are soft landed on the moon." He estimated it would take up to five years to get these vehicles into operation. Can Measure Radiation "With a lunar satellite or biting 200 to 300 miles from the moon, we can tell what the moon's surface is made of he said. "We can measure the different kinds of radiation emitted by a fraction of the moon's rocks to tell whether the rocks are made of basalt, silicate or something else." The robots, which will be landed gently on the moon following surface "mapping" J by the satellites, probably will use solar energy to power var ious devices, including "drills to take rock samples and per haps little arms to reach out and sample dust and make other mesurements," Hibbs said. Will Radio Information The instrument packages, first of which will be immo bile, will radio back to earth information which may tell the age of the solar system and how it was formed. "The moon's surface hasn't changed for five billion years" Hibbs said. "There's no 'wea thering such as we have on earth." UNIVERSITY PREXY DIES Macon, Ga.-(UPD-Dr. George B.
