PAGE TWENTY-SIX THE HOLLAND, MICHIGAN, EVENING SENTINEL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3,1961 Task Force Morale High In Pacific ABOARD THE USS KEAR. SARGE (UPD The six-orbit flight of astronaut Walter M. Schlrra may be the only one ever to land in the Pacific and an armada of men, ships, planes and space age gadgets were primed today to make it a perfect operation. Weather in the target recovery about 1,300 miles northwest of Honolulu was reported "fine" and the seas were calm. Motale aboard this 41.000-ton helicopter carrier and six accompanying recovery destroyers was high among the 4,000 men of the task force.

It was bound to go even higher when word was flashed that Schirra had passed the third orbit and was then a Paicfic responsibility. Space experts Schirra's flight probably would be the last one involving orbits of less than 24 hours length and that all others probably would be timed for day-tight landings in the Atlantic near Cape Canaveral The Kearsarge and destroyers were cruising in an elliptical area off Midway. The destroyers Walker, Radford and Epperson were stationed 170 miles due east of Midway where Schirra would land if his flight terminated after four orbits. The Kearsarge and destroyers Renshaw, Philip and O'Bannon were strung out Indian file in the prime recovery area about 275 miles northeast of Midway where the astronaut would land after five or six orbits.

But he got it under control and reported he was comfortable In each, circuit of the earth, Schirra flew through alternate night and day, each lasting about 45 minutes. Once in daytime he reported the sun was "peeking" into his capsule. During one of his nights he reported the moon "just to the left of me." At the conclusion of his second orbit. Schirra told Glenn, stationed at the Point Arguello, a i tracking station, that too, see fireflies." This was a reference to lumin- I ous particles previously seen by both Glenn and Carpenter. The particles, emanating from the spacecraft and shining in the sun, have been named "the Glenn effect In his first orbit Schirra reported trouble keeping the temperature down in his 20 pound space suit.

But he said: "I feel real good. I have beads of perspiration on my lips but that's about all." He said he thought he had licked the problem. Schirra's craft was traveling at a pace to circle the earth every hour and a half. At 55 minutes after liftoff the pilot tilted his cabin steeply to carry out one of the major experiments of the flight This was to see whether he could observe a high intensity i flare fired from Woomera, Aus- a i a Because of weather conditions, Schirra said the flare looked like "a block of light" rather than a bright point. Schirra kept his chatter to the greatest blaze of publicity in space history.

Television watchers in two continents saw the giant Atlas missile smoothly nudge Sigma 7 into the sky. Space officials said the Telstar communication satellite relayed picturesof the liftoff to Europe where they were available to 17 Western European and nine Eastern European countries, including part of the Union Liftoff of the cheerful and confident astronaut followed a nearly perfect countdown. The weather was fine here and in all prospective landing areas of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Schirra's flight plan called for a flight of six orbits, twice as long as any yet undertaken by A i a in 9 hours and 11 minutes. Project Mercury officials said when the spacecraft achieved orbit, however, a it had the capacity for seven orbits.

It was designed as a space trail blazer for 24-hour flights next year and the much longer Gemini and Apollo orbital jounfeys of the future. Space officials said everything looked good for the planned six- orbit flight. Early calculations showed he was flying at 17,560 miles an hour in an orbit ranging from 100 miles at the low point to 176 miles at the highest Time for one orbit was calculated at 89 minutes. Early computer data indicated that if everything went well, Schirra's bell bottomed capsule would splash down in the Pacific at about 4.25 EST. Seconds after Schirra roared aloft on a tail of orange flame, officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration reported his first radioed words Their substance was, "I feel well, fuel and oxygen okay." minutes later the astronaut, pressed down in his form-fitting couch by the force of acceleration, reported that the flight was "proceeding satisfactorily." At 7.21 a.m.

the Mercury control center announced that Schirra was in orbit and that everything looked good for a full six- orbit flight. If all continues to go well, Schirra will fly 160.000 miles over five continents and three oceans and come down in the Pacific 275 miles northeast of i a island Schirra's first chore was to turn the capsule around with the help of small jets built in the capsule. He positioned Sigma 7 so it would travel through space with its blunt end forward. "She's flying beautifully," Schirra told ground tracking stations seven minutes after blastoff. It was the smoothest countdown and launch ever witnessed at this spaceport.

Eight minutes after blastoff, Schirra looked outside the capsule to view his Atlas booster rocket, which was in orbit alongside him. The spacecraft and the rocket gradually drifted apart as the minutes wore on. Schirra's launching came just one day shy of the fifth anniversary of the space age. On Oct. 4 1957, Russia ushered in the space era when it launched Sputnik I.

There was only one unplanned 'hold" in the countdown a 15- minute delay while a tracking station radar was repaired. Schirra, grinning and poised, climbed into his capsule at 4:40 a.m., and was hurled into the sky 2 hours and 35 minutes later. John H. Glenn America's first astronaut to fly in orbit, spent 3 hours and 41 minutes in lis capsule before liftoff last Feb. 20.

M. Scott Carpenter, who also flew three times around the earth on May 24, spent 3 hours and 2 minutes awaiting launch. Newsmen and spectators reacted calmly to the launching of the nation's fifth spaceman. Unlike the first orbital shot, there were no cheers when Schirra was Nibbettnk -JWotier Air Conditioned FUNERAL CHAPEL AMBULANCE SERVICE 18 9th Street Phoin EX launched. It was almost as if everyone anticipated a successful launching.

There were no cheers. No hurrahs. About 20 minutes after blastoff, Sigma 7 was soaring at 17,500 miles an hour in a southeasterly direction swinging toward the African continent. Schirra was in contact with tracking stations in the Canary Islands and Kano, Nigeria, in that order. At one point, Schirra reported that he could "see the sun.

peeking in at me Schirra was sealed into his capsule at 5 31 a.m. as dawn began to break out in the Atlantic. At 6 a.m., the gantry was rolled back, leaving the giant Atlas missile standing alone on the pad. with the two-ton, bell- shaped Mercury capsule on top of it 95 feet from the ground and inside His eyes were sparkling and a big grin was spread across his face when he left his Hangar quarters for the trip acros-s the night-darkened Cape to Launching Pad 14. The weather was flawless and the countdown up to then perfect.

His own physical condition was reported to be excellent. Floodlights streamed across the huge gantry as Schirra stepped out at the pad. He shook hands with one of the workmen, entered an elevator, and rode to the llth of the gantry where the capsule awaited him. Then at 5.40 a.m., EDT he stepped into Sigma 7, right foot first. The final countdown, begun at midnight, went along without a hitch.

Tropical storm Daisy, which had threatened to kick up bad weather in the Atlantic zones, obligingly moved out of the way. Throughout the world everything was in readiness. Weather in both the Atlantic and the Pacific zones was described as good. If everything worked as planned Schirra would come down nine hours and 11 minutes after launch in a Pacific landing spot 275 miles northeast of Midway Island Schirra was described as "the most relaxed guy on this Cape" as he donned his silvery space suit in the Hangar headquarters of the astronauts. He went to sleep early Tuesday night and was awakened at 2-48 a EDT, by Dr.

Howard K. Minners, the astronaut's flight surgeon. Then, at 3:10 a EDT, he had breakfast in a trailer "ear the hangar called the "Astronaut's Mess." For breakfast there was a special treat a one and a half pound bluefish that Sehirra himself caught Tuesday night off the Cape. Besides the bluefish. the breakfast menu included eggs, filet of steak, dry toast, orange juice and coffee.

After breakfast Schirra had a physical examination. He was pronounced "in excellent condition." At 4:05 a.m. EDT, the biomedical sensors were attached to his body, and at 4:25 a.m., EDT, he started getting into his 20-pound space suit.
