Vanguard Rocket’s Final Stage Declared Lost in Orbit
Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory teams reported the Vanguard I final-stage rocket, launched March 14, is lost in space while tracking Sputnik IT and other Soviet satellites. Moonwatch observers sighted Sputnik IT in the southern U.S. and West Coast, with weather delaying confirmations elsewhere. U.S. Navy officials suggested missiles are powerful enough to place larger satellites, though no such launch has occurred. Soviet scientists predicted future biological experiments but emphasized reentry remains unsolved.
