Astronaut Describes
'Space Flight' in
Simulated Orbit
Johnsville, Pa. -(UPD- "A
little dizzy but not bad" was
the way one of America's sev
en astronauts described a
four-hour "flight" into simu
lated orbit 150 miles from
earth Tuesday.
Leroy G. Cooper, Carbon-
dale, Colo., made the trip and
returned in a specially built
centrifuge designed to give
the feeling of space flight. It
was the first experiment of
this type that newsmen were
permitted to witness.
'Very Normal
Cooper described the simu
lated flight and re-entry as
very normal-the same as we
have been practicing the last
few days."
The astronaut said he felt
no pain and experienced the
opposite of weightlessness. "I
felt rather weighty," he said.
"Officials said Cooper had un
dergone a pressure equivalent
to nine times the weight of his
body while spinning around
in a capsule on the end of a
50-foot arm driven by one of
the world's largest motors.
The capsule can accelerate
from a standing position to
approximately 180 miles an
hour in seven seconds and can
be turned m any direction,
reproducing the tumbling of
earth satellites.
Cooper, dressed in a green
coverall zipped to the neck,
sat down in the capsule on a
foam rubber pad designed to
fit the contours of his body
and was strapped in. His arms

operate dials and push but
tons to guide his flight.
During his flight, Cooper
felt the simulated firing of
the rocket and going into or
bit and was subjected to the
sensations of the return trip
to earth.
These sensations including
the simulated effect of a par
achute opening at 60,000 feet,
a second parachute at 15,000
feet, and the impact on water
while traveling at 35 feet per
second.
