Rocket Releases Sodium Cloud 80 Miles High for Radio Test ALAMOGORDO, N.M., Nov. (AP)-The Air Force released a cloud of sodium vapor more than 80 miles above the earth early today a and the resulting orange cloud was spotted over wide portions of the Southwest.

Spokesmen at the Air Force missile development near here said the experiment was to determine certain factors of radio communication. The sodium was shot up in an Air Force Aerobee rocket at 5:55 a.m. Hundreds of ham radio operators had been told of the experiment and were tuned in on the Air Force blockhouse, where the firing Save WITH CURRENT DIVIDEND ALL ACCOUNTS INSURED BY THE FEDERAL SAVINGS UP TO $10,000.00 LOAN INSURANCE CORP.

The Aerobee traveled at a speed of 3600 miles an hour to a point 80 to 100 miles above the earth before leasing the sodium, a spokesman said.

The Moscow radio estimate is more in line with predictions made by American astronomers at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass, Scientists at that observatory said last night the United States perhaps should final get its chance best see the rocket in the next few days. The rocket is expected to make three passes over the United States both today and tomorrow. The passes are due in the evening twilight, favorable hours for observation. After this week, the scientists said, the rocket may not again be visible the United States because it will cross over the country either in broad daylight or in darkness. The project Vanguard source who told of plans to fire the test satellite next week said it will be aimed southeastward and adjusted for a generally equatorial orbit.

If all goes as planned, he said, the tiny American satellite should enter an orbit that would carry it to altitudes varying from 300 to 1200 miles above the earth. To shoot the small sphere to those heights, American rocketeers will use a 72-foot launching assembly weighing more than 22,000 pounds. The informant said the test satellite will be sped skyward by the same kind of three-stage rocket built for use later in launching the regular 21-inch satellite. It was reported a leak had developed in the thin casing of the second stage of the rocket planned for use in next week's test, but that scientists believe this problem has been licked. The first stage is designed to carry the satellite to an altitude of 40 miles at a speed of about 4000 miles an hour.

This first stage then is planned to fall into the ocean some 300 miles from Florida. Engineers said that if this first stage separates as contemplated, the launching probably will be successful. The second stage is intended to rise another 100 miles. Then the satellite is expected to coast, without power, to an altitude of more than 300 miles. By that time, tiny gas jets will have moved it into a course on a tangent with the earth, and its speed will have reached about 9000 miles an hour.

When the satellite has started traveling parallel with the earth, the third stage will start the sphere spinning and the speed will shoot up to the 000 miles an hour needed to keep it in orbit. The informant said the test sphere will have four tiny lar batteries fastened to the outside, plus four or six antennas. Radio signals will be transmitted continuously on 108 megacycles. The batteries, drawing their power from the sun, are planned to last as long as the satellite itself. No estimate was given on the expected life span on this test vehicle.

The baby satellite will not be equipped with special telemetering instruments expected to go into the fully developed artificial moon. Thus, the test sphere will send back no information about conditions in space. The Russians say they have received considerable formation from their satellites, but so far they have not shared it with the rest of the world's scientists co-operating in the International Geophysical Year. Both American and Russian satellite originally were billed part of the IGY, a worldwide scientific effort aimed at learning more about the earth and space around it. Possibility of Firing Meteor to Moon Within Few Months.

PASADENA, Nov. 26 (AP)-Dr. Fritz Zwicky, astrophysicist at the California Institute of Technology and former rocket expert in Germany, says a man-made meteor possibly could be fired to the moon within the next three months. Zwicky told an interviewer yesterday that a few preliminary tests and perhaps 000 might result in landing a pound-and-a-half slug on the moon. Eventually, he added, fragments of such a slug probably could be made to glance off the moon and return to earthicky said the slug could be attached to a shaped charge of high explosive.

The charge and the slug would be fired aloft by an aerobee rocket. then firing 1946, of Zwicky a V-2 supervised rocket equipped with shaped charges.
