How Many Return Trips to Moon? WASHINGTON (AP) The kciswn on how many tanet America goes to the moon -with equipment already paid and delivered--Is being made this week by the outgoing administrator of the nation's space agency. Dr. Thomas O. Paine, whose resignation takes effect Sept. is, is weighing whether there will be: --Six more Apollo flights as currently scheduled.

-Four more flights to the moon; and using (he launch vehicles of the discarded pair for one additional Skylab in 1973 and, possibly, a space station in the 1976 bicentennial year. Paine's verdict is expected early next week. No successor for his has been announced. By canceling two moon shots --probably Apollos 15 and 19-the funds-shy space agency would save about $180'million operational costs, which include preparation, launching, tracking and recovery. There is conjecture Paine will order the twice-delayed flight of Apollo 14 to Fra Maiiro postponed another two months past the current Jan.

31, 1971 launch date and then to fly the ApoUo 16 mission renumbered as Apollo 15 early in 1972. That would give the space station only one manned launch, in- slead of the planned two, in 1971 and allow additional time for delivery of the Junar rover vehi- cle now being tested by its man ufacturer. The rover was designed to be vseA on Apollos It, 17, and which have moon landers modified to MCOKUDO- date it. The Apollo 15 mission was to have been similar to previous ones--with the astronauts allowed to walk the surface for two periods of four hours each. The stay-time for the rover missions is up to 66 hours, with the vehicle able to traverse 10 mites on each of three successive battery charges.

In current planning, the first Skylab--using a Saturn 5 launch vehicle with an empty third stage fitted out as a small labo- ralory--is scheduled for late 1972. Three crews of three men each are to be launched to the earth-orbit station, for stays up to 56 days each. The space agency's fiscal 1971 billion--was caught in the presidential veto of the Independent Offices Appropriations biU, upheld by the House. The agency's budget for the fiscal year that begins next July 1 is expected to be even lower- below billion. On a schedule of six more flights; four would be spaced six months apart followed by Skylab in 1972 and 1973, with Apollos 18 and 19 later.

There currently are 49 astronauts on flight status at the Manned Space Center in Houston, 35 of whom have never gone into space.
