Radio transmitters in the "moon" give off 'beep, beep, beep' signal. A multiple-stage rocket launch ed the earth satellite yesterday, shooting it upward at about five miles per second.

A Moscow broadcast reported: "According to preliminary in formation the carrier rocket has imparted to the satellite the required orbital velocity of about 8000 meters (about 26.246 feet)' a second. "At the present time the satellite is describing elliptical trajectories around the earth. 'With Simplest Glasses' "Its flight will be observed In the rays of the rising and setting sun with the aid of the simplest optical instruments such as binoculars and spy glasses." Moscow said ths satellite is fitted with steel radio transmitters continously sending signals earthward on ths 15 and 7.5 meter wave lengths and easily received by a broad rangs of amateur sets. Its announced weight of about 185 pounds is more than eight times ths weight of a projected U. S.

He offered his congratulations while Dr. A. A. Blagonravov and other Soviet scientists at the party beamed in appreciation. Dr.

Berkner said American teams organized to spot artificial satellites were immediately being called into action to look for the Russian moon. In another recognition of Soviet success, Dr. Joseph Kaplan, chairman of the U. S. National Committee for IGY, said: "I am amazed that in the short time-whlck they hnH tn pinp ph- viously not any, longer than we had I think it was a remarkable achievement on their part."
