Moon Shot Plans Target August for Loon Mission
CAPE CANAVERAL Florida July 28 AP Satellite Explorer IV continues its space show as Air Force and Army rush lunar planing. Air Force aims for a moon bound one way flight between August 15 and 17 using a Thor Able rocket to orbit an instrumented satellite around the moon. The Army eye s a November launch using a modified Jupiter C rocket. Explorer IV beams steady signals from orbit as scientists study radiation data to assess spaceflight risks and protection needs. The mission could delay manned travel if radiation exposure remains unsafe.
