Study of Midnight Glow Out By KEN SINER Associated Press Writer SPACE CENTER Houston (AP) A space experiment to investigate a mysterious glow in Hie midnight sky has been can it'eled the result of the late hour Substitution of John Swigert Jr' as command module pilot Senstad of the Goddard Spacelight Center at Greenbelt Md said Sunday that the elemenation involved reflected fig officiallyknown as the ex which was to help Scientists learn moire about the glow Swigert really up to snuff on hesa id was a lbw priority experiment any I Although Senstad described the photography as a minor part of mission the Gegenschein ex periment gegenschein means reflected light in was the first mentioned in a pre launch briefing by NASA scien tists March 13 Dr Anthony England said however that his mentioning this experiment first did not mean it was first in importance but only first event in the field of orbital science in the chronol ogy of the flight you look down sun from the earth if you look out into space an area that glows There seems to be a con centration of dust particles and people are curious why we see it England said Mattingly admitted Saturday that he was frustrated and dis appointed when grounded but said taking his place the only decision that was Mattingly underwent two years of extensive training for the mission Swigert had been training for Apollo 13 since Au gust but with the back up crew not the first team After exposure to measles became known Swigert went through a blitz training and familiarization program with Apollo 13 commander James Lovell Jr and Land ing modtile pilot red Haise Mattingly said he has no doubts about ability to step in at the last minute fact that he could take over in such an emergency is a tribute not just to Jack but to the type of program But flight operations director Donald Slayton said after think we have to recognize that Jack is not as well up to speed on the' orbital science as Ken was because Ken has been working in that area primarily during the last month had an opportun ity to practice all this as much as Ken so we are in fact drop ping some items out of the flight plan to clean it up in the areas where the time line is very tight Manmade Moonquake Scheduled or Study of Seismic Signals way The experiment was to be conducted while two astronauts Were on the moon and the third1 astronaut was orbiting over head waiting for them to re turn The man overhead would take pictures to help determine as the glow re sults from an accumulation of particles caught a million miles from earth in a gravity pocket op the opposite side of the earth from the sun The glow seen by astrono mers using telescopes is not 'visible to the naked eye from but was expected to be Visible to the astronauts above the moon It' was the third scientific ex periment dropped from the mis Son because Swigert is notwell enough trained to perform them All three involve precise photography while he orbited the moon alone Earlier the space agency had dropped solar corona and zodiacal light exper ifnents Swigert was substituted friday as a command mduale pilot aft er Thomas Mattingly II was dkposed to German Measles Mattingly a freckled bache lor seemed' to blush when asked lEfte Saturday whether Swigert yould be able to do as good a jpb with the photography as Mattingly could have done and ifhot what would be lost I think been gone jjver before and I want to add anything to Mattingly By BILL STOCKTON AP Science Writer SPACE CENTER Houston (AP) Scientists perplexed by the first manmade moonquake hope to ring the moon like a gong this week when they crash two pieces of Apollo 13 hard ware into it They seek to learn the origin The first crash comes Tues day at 8:02 pm EST when part of the Saturn 5 called the crashes into the moon 230 miles west of where Apollo 13 astronauts James Lovell and red 'Haise hope to land The second is planned at 3:13 pm EST riday after the two moon explorers return to the command ship orbiting the moon Their useless lander will be sent rocketing into the bleak surface 34 miles west of the landing site Scientists hope to recreate the strange seismic reverberations that shook the moon last No vember when they intentionally smashed the Apollo 12 lunar lan der a few miles from the seis mometer left by astronauts Charles Conrad and Alan Bean The crash generated seismic signals unlike anything record ed on earth It was one scientist said as if a bell had been struck and then reverberated for 55 minutes we can successfully record these impacts I think be gin to assemble a picture with a great deal more detail of lunar structure than we have been able to thus explained Dr Gary Latham of the Columbia University Lamont Geophysical Observatory Lathem main scientist on the seismic experiment believes understanding lunar structures is the key to unraveling the mysteries of lunar origin and perhaps the origin of the earth Reviewing results of previous seismic experiments Latham said think you can see that we are a long way from the an swers but we are greatly en couraged by the progress we have been able to make and very much excited for the po tential that Apollo 13 offers for two irst the Apollo 13 seismome ter will be the second instru ment recording moonquakes joining the Apollo 12 seismome ter hopefully record the same signals now on both sta tions and greatly improve our ability to locate the source of those signals and determine ex actly what it was that produced the Latham said Second both the impact of the rocket and the lander will send shocks deep into the moon per haps 100 miles How these shocks are reflected could pro duce significant new informa tion about the deep structure of the lunar sphere The S4B of course will hit be fore the astronauts land and set up the second seismometer But its crash equivalent to 11 tons of TNT will be recorded by the Apollo 12 seismometer 92 miles away This new data will be compared with the data from the man made moonquake last November The most important data will come from crash! Purposely crashing the S4B Into the lunar surface is some thing new in the Apollo pro gram Normally the S4B which is the third stage of the Saturn 5 is sent past the moon at a dis tance of 2000 miles into a solar orbit ifaid 5 It was not known if the deci sion to scrub the experiment liad been made at the time Mat Jjngly made that remark or if it Jtad whether Mattingly knew of fl No public

stopped he said you guys filed your in come tax A voice came back from space: do I apply for' an There was laughter and then Swigert cut in: Joe I gotta hey listen not funny Things kinda happened real fast down there and I do need an ex tension I get mine More laughter really Swigert persisted may be spending time in another quarantine be sides the one they are planning for On April 15 the deadline for filing James A Lovell Jr and red Haise will be landing on the moon Swigert himself will be in moon orbit awaiting their re turn The three be out of quarantine on earth until May 8 The Internal

are lagging far behind in the space race and we know said one Muscovite seems a bit silly celebrating first space flight while the Americans are paying their third visit to the Soviet newspapers paid the usual lip service to the 18 cosmonauts on the ninth anni versary of first earth or by Maj Yuri Gagarin All but one paper ignored the latest Apollo mission The Communist party organ Pravda devoted to paragraphs on page five to a curt announce ment that Apollo 13 had parted for the It did not say it was attempting Ameri third landing In a lengthy article rehasing past Soviet space triumphs So vietskaya Rossia stressed: country first blazed the road to the moon carrying out a soft landing of an atomatic station on its Without mentioning US moon landings the paper gave one sentence of to American scientists engineers and cosmo nauts who are successfully im plementing the complicated Apollo The Soviet Union has not an nounced any manned flights since last October when it or bited seven cosmonauts in three Soyuz spacecraft That mission apparently failed in its intended purpose of constructing an or biting space station by welding two of the ships together The Soviet Union never ad mits space failures and lack of official word on manned flights does not necessarily mean there have (been none there were you can safely assume they success said another Russian resi dent of the Soviet capital a lot of talk in Moscow about our space program right now and many people think wasting money trying to catch up to the Americans course no one knows how much is spent We never will

flights while stress ing the versatility of its matic Soviet space goals outlined last December by scientist Bor is Petrov did not exclude the of manned flights to the But Petrov went on to say that

two local clubs get together Wednesday at they will becelebrating: the 5 0th an niversary of Civitan Interna tional the 16th anniversary of lorence Civitan Club and for good measure they also will have a special program com memorating the 300th an niversary of South Carolina Two oral sketches of con temporary interests will be presented as the main themes of the historical program Al Kunz will trace the heritage and history of the Civitan Club while the principal speaker will be Thomas Williamson of Columbia who will discuss South history particularly that of the Pee Dee Area with special em phasis on the role played by Gen rancis Marion of Revulu of South early role in American history in view of the Tri Centennial Celebration But of further local interests will be the timeliness of

lorence will be participating jointly in the three fold celebration Wednesday mark ing their intematonal organiza 50th anniversary But joint ventures by the two local clubs are not uncommon As service groups they share in numerous community pro jects many of which are rarely recognized and some of which are practically unknown to the general public There are many local pro jects which lorences two Civitan Clubs either sponsor completely or in which they play cooperative and supporting roles: A sampling of them are: an annual scholarship to a local college student a local col legiate Civitan Club at USC and presumably to be carried over to rancis Marion College citizenship award at USC junior civitan organizations at McClenaghan High School citizenship essay contests on high school levels
