. o 12 B. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OHE. WEDNESDAY, JUKE 12, 1160 Eight Types of Mighty U.S. Rockets Capable of War, Put to Peaceful Uses Cape Canaveral, Fla. - OiPIl -America's ballistic missiles are cast in a role perhaps unique in history-weapons of war serving simultaneously as instruments of peace The U.S. has developed eight types of mighty rockets capable of delivering in one blow a nuclear punch of de struction surpassing all the bombs dropped by both tides during both world wars. The names read like pages from mythology and history books-Atlas, Titan and Min uteman, the giant intercontin ental ballistic missiles (1CBM) -Thor and Jupiter, interme diate range weapons (1RBM) - Polaris, an 1RBM to be launched from a submerged submarine: Pershing, a selec tive-range ballistic missile, and Skybolt, an air-launched 1RBM. . But at least three-Atlas, Ju piter and Thor-have become equally well-known to the world for their ability to toss satellites into orbit around the earth and sun. A fourth, Titan, will become the na tion's mightiest space rocket before the end of the year. Minuteman, Polaris and Pershing are solid-fueled mis sites with no space roles as yet. But the National Aero nautics and Space Adminis tration and the Department of Defense are at work on plans to use solid-fueled rockets in space research. Other plans have been sug gested to launch satellites from planes in the skies - a job which might go to the 1,500-mile Skybolt. For many months to come, Thor will remain the work horse of the U.S. space boost er corps, The rocket, already on duly in England as a mili tary weapon, is given stages that enable it to throw up to 300 pounds of payload into orbit. These rockets are the famed Thor-Able, Thor-Able-Star and Thor-Delta. During the next seven months, they will fire at least three satel lites towards orbits around earth - Tiros II weather satel lite, Transit 2-A navigational satellite and Echo II 100-foot balloon communications satel lite. Communication Meant Thor - based rockets also may be selected for the job of getting the first two pro totypes of the Army's Cour ier satellite into orbit. Cour ier will give the U.S. armed forces a means of communica tions with overseas bases by messages tape-recorded in space. Atlas, America's mightiest war-ready rocket, is capable of hauling multi-ton nuclear payloads over distances up to 9,000 miles. In its peacetime role, it is the most powerful space booster available to this country at present. An Atlas-Agena threw a 5,000-pound Midas II satellite into orbit recently. By the end of 1960, it will send other pro totype oT Midas, an early warning defense satellite, and S a m o s, a reconnaissance moonlet, into polar orbits from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. Atlases in combination with the smaller Able stages so familiar with Thor will at tempt two probes of the moon - one in August or Sep tember, the other in Novem ber. At least one will attempt to take pictures of the far side of the moon's surface and re lay the photos to earth via television. Slated for Atlat A more powerful upper stage, Centaur, is slated for Atlas by late next year. Mean while, the Titan ICBM-riding a string of six successful mil itary flights here - is being primed for a space shot this year. Sources said Titan can send about 11,000 pounds into orbit around earth - 5,000 pounds of instruments and 6,000 pounds of empty casing -without modification. The federal space agency will use the Juno II, an "old reliable" in the American space force, for a series of five scientific exploratory shots starting in about Au gust or September.

In the military field, Atlas, Thor and Jupiter are combat ready, and Polaris and Tiian will reach that stage by the end of 1960, if all goes well. Minuteman should become op erational by 1962, as will Pershing. Skybolt, now In the planning stage, will com shortly thereafter.
