Soviet Instrument Ships Near U.S. Test Zone in Pacific
Three Soviet instrument ships the Sibir Sudan and Sakhalin reached a Pacific position within about 450 miles of both the U S nuclear test zone and the Soviet rocket shot area observers believed they could monitor rocket and nuclear test activity. An American high altitude test at Johnston Island failed when a Thor N1 missile was destroyed in flight by a range safety officer. The Defense Department placed the vessels roughly 440 miles south of Johnston Island and 360 miles west of the Moscow announced target area. U S patrol planes were likely tracking the ships as Washington expected to observe Moscow rocket firings from inside the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union also announced two zones for long range rocket tests.
