Vanguard Satellite Chief John P. Hagen said the United States could walk out tomorrow and hit the moon with a rocket. Defense sources noted a Pentagon plan to disclose which moon rocket project would be attempted as Vanguard 2 circles Earth every 135 minutes. Hagen argued the Vanguard I upper stages could be added to a powerful booster to reach lunar distance within a year or 30.

3,000 Mile Altitude Seen for Vanguard

CAPE CANAVERAL AP The Vanguard satellite launch may have been more remarkable than first thought with the grapefruit size moon probing space. Early data suggest the orbit could reach about 3,000 miles apogee before returning to a 400 mile perigee. If true, Vanguard may be the longest lived artificial moon, potentially outlasting the original 10 year estimate. Dr. John P. Hagen said the extreme height could keep the satellite aloft longer than planned. No other satellite has sailed through the outer skies.
