Vanguard Shooting Delayed by Weather Test Goes Forward With Polaris
Weather delays scrubbed the Vanguard satellite launch in Cape Canaveral, while the Navy sent a Polaris missile forerunner skyward on a zigzag path. The test rocket, a solid propellant, submarine launched prototype, resembled the final Polaris in appearance but will not fire for months. Preliminary indications say the test performed as expected as it rose angled then went vertical, wobbling briefly before vanishing in the clear sky after about 25 seconds.
