Hope Ends For Monkey In Capsule
CAPE CANAVERAL AP The air force gave up the search for a 4 pound Rhesus monkey named Scatback after it rode 600 miles into space and splashed down in rough South Atlantic waters 6 000 miles southeast of the Cape. A single ship quit the hunt at dusk as 7 to 9 foot waves battered the impact area. The capsule rode to a 15 000 mile per hour ballistic trajectory atop an Atlas rocket launched Tuesday night. Recovery planes and the Sword Knot range vessel abandoned the search after three hours due to fuel limits. Officials said it may take days to analyze radio signals from the monkey and note that Scatback should survive the flight, as prior animals did. The Atlas objective dominated the mission while Scatback served as a secondary test with a radio transmitter and sensors to gauge potential use on human astronauts.
