Photos May Hold Clue To Rocket Malfunction
CAPE CANAVERAL AP A small television camera on the Redstone rocket may reveal why the engine cut off early during Ham the space chimp’s flight reaching 155 miles. The abortive shutdown triggered the escape tower boosting the capsule higher than planned. The mission produced 560 pictures in 14 seconds as officials study the anomaly. Debus said the escape system worked, and the faster reentry produced seven minutes weightlessness for Ham rather than five.
