CRATERIAN BEAUTY SALON SP 2-4830 U.S. Planning Space With Nuclear-Powered Rocket Washington - uTPD - Missile i expert Wernher Von Braun has disclosed the united States is planning an ad vanced version of the Saturn space vehicle with a nuclear- powered upper stage rocket. Von Braun, In testimony published today by a House appropriations subcommittee, predicted the l.S million pound super booster - topped with a nuclear engine-would be flight tested in 1D88 or 1869. He said the multi stage rocket, first to envisage a marriage between convention al and nuclear fuels in launch ing space packages, would be capable of placing a 72,000 pound instrument package In a 300-mile high orbit around the earth. The German-born scientist said the rocket also would be capable of taking a 14.800 pound payload to a "soft" landing on the moon. Furthermore, he said, the nuclear-liquid fuel combina tion "makes it definitely pos sible to fly a portion of this back to the earth so you can bring samples back from the surface of the moon," The Von Braun team, which has developed . the eight - en gine super booster at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency in Huntsville, Ala., will soon be transferred to the control of the National Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration.
