(AP) The United Ststes today fired' into a record 1, 850-mile -high orbit the first missile alarm satellite to pass over Russia.

The altitude was a new high for a circular orbit. Satellites in egg-shaped orbits have gone higher. Previous high circular orbit was about 300 miles, by one of the Discoverer satellites. The Air Force expressed surprised delight both with the height and the nearly perfect circle. High altitude benefits the effectiveness of Midas' detection system, the Air Force said, because it permits a larger scanning area.

Midas III is circling the globe once every 2 hours and 40 minutes The orbit is approximately circular, just what was ordered. The orbit was achieved by restarting the satellites engine over Africa for a brief burst that increased altitude and made the orbit more circular. The satellite, after a series of disappointing delays, roared aloft at 8 12 a m. from this Navy space base and into a polar orbit that will carry it repeatedly over Soviet territory. The first pass over Russia will be the third, about 7 hours and 20 minutes after launch.

Details of the payload were kept secret. The second, or orbital stage carried a record fuel load for a U.S. second stage vehicle. This gave the extra push for the high orbit. The weight, fueled, was not disclosed.

Midas III is pioneering a satellite series aimed at giving nearly instant warning of hostile missile firings. In its nose is an infrared eye which can sense heat from the exhaust of a missile blasting off hundreds of miles below. The second stages fueled weight was not disclosed. Previous high weight was in a similar vehicle in the Discoverer satellite scries. Previous high orbit was about 300 mites for Midas II.

Midas III weight 3,500 pounds with fuel gone is a 30-foot-long space scout with an infra-red eye which can sense heat from a missile's exhaust hundreds of miles below. Goal of the series is to give nearly instant warning of hostile missile firings. The second stage was boosted by the same Atlas rocket that fizzled on the launch pad last Monday after days of postponements chased by unexplained technical troubles. Midas and its sister satellite, the camera-carrying Samos, are designed as space-age replacements for the U2 spy plane shot down over Russia more than a year ago. DENVER, Colo.

(AP) The torn skeleton of a United Air Lines DC8 jet lay crumpled on Denvers Stapleton Airfield today as an investigation began Into the crash landing and fire in which at least 17 persons perished. There were 122 aboard the jet when touched down, veered suddenly off the runway ond then hrusi into flame shortly before roon Tuesday, ana more than 100 escaped several of them unhurt.

The plane was en route from Philadelphia to Los Angeles with stops in Chicago, Omaha and Den ver. United said 94 passengers boarded in Omaha.

5 in Chicago and 10 in Philadelphia. At least four unticketed infants were aboard and the airline said there may have been more. Passengers said they were alerted by the pilot, Capt John Grosso of Denver, 10 minutes before the crash that something was the matter with the hydraulics system, an important element in the brakes. There was a strange mixture of quiet calm and anguished desperation when the plane touched the runway, then skidded off, crossed 100 yards of field and burst into huge billows of flame when the landing gear crumpled on the Set An All-Energy City Electric Rate A new electric power schedule designed for commercial firms whose energy requirements are met entirely with electricity was adopted yesterday by lolas gov erning body.

EST Nearly two hours later the National Aeronautics and Space Administration reported the three-stage vehicle had successfully placed the weather-eye orbit about 400 miles above the earth. Officials reported the tracking stations at Woomera, Australia: San Nicholas, and Wallops Island, had received good signals from the satellite on its first pas around the globe.

Wide angle television cameras in the satellite were to begin transmitting pictures of cloud covers when orbit was obtained There was no immediate word on whether the cameras were working. Meteorologists hope the pictures will provide valuable information on what causes hurricanes and how they develop. Shaped like a huge drum with two television cameras protruding from its base.
