2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Or. Wednesday, Sept. 23, 1959 T ie Washington -flJPD- U. S. sci entists will try early next month to pilot a 375-pound space package into orbit around the moon with radio commands from the earth. Apparently it will be the first use of so-called mid course and terminal guidance in space history. - All other space vehicles, including Rus sia s Lunik II, have relied solely on "initial gut, lance" to reach their destination. ' According to Radio Mos cow; Lunik II was put on course by guidance mechan isms which operated only as long as its rockets were firing. Then, like an intercontinental ballistic missile, it coasted on a long trajectory to its target. It was fine marksmanship but could not be depended upon for deeper penetrations into space. A spacecraft using initial guidance only would miss Mars or Venus by many thousands of miles. . One purpose of ; the U. S Ex-Stevenson Aide an: i To Campaign for in State Kennedy Chicago - (UPD - Hymtri Raskin, former aide to Adlai E. Stevenson, left today. for Oregon to. support the cam' paign of Sen.

Plant To Campaign Raskin said he would cam paign': for , . Kennedy in the Oregon" preferential election, where, the names of all poten tial' candidates are supposed tof ,-be entered.- A petition signed by 1,000 persons will enter the candidate regard less of his wishes. I "Stevenson," Raskin said, i'is a fine man but the way 1 read the cards he will not lie in contention for the pres idency." -xi . : Steel President s 'No Progress' Mw York (UPD David ionald, president of the ed Steelworkers Union, threw cold water on Sospects for settlement of ex nationwide steel strike is now in its 11th moon shot is to test radio guidance equipment designed to correct the vehicle's course from time to time and then, at the right moment, to direct it into a lunar orbit. To Contain Small Rockets The 375-pound instrument package, it is understood, will contain small rockets which will be aimed and fired by remote radio control. The package - will be launched by an Atlas-Able rocket at Cape Canaveral, Fla., in the early days of Oc tober when the moon is in a favorable position. The Atlas Able consists of an Atlas ICBM as the first stage plus second and third stages evolved from the Vanguard rocket. Total thrust will be only about two-thirds as great as that attributed to Russia's space-probe rockets, and the package will weigh less than half as much as the 860-pound Lunik II. But the guidance system for the American package appar ently will be far more ad vanced than Lunik's and more important for the future of space exploration.
