CAPE CANAVERAL Fla AP Tiros IV the fourth in a series for high 'doulary electronic weather soared into orbit today to photograph the earth's cloud cover. The Thor Delta rocket blasted off at 7 44 a m as all three booster stages fired on schedule and the package reached about 400 miles up.

Shaped like a tally drum the IV differs from earlier satellites mainly by an improved lens system to reduce distortion.
