Ranger lunar mission set for Monday blastoff
UPI reports plans for the Ranger spacecraft to launch Monday from Cape Kennedy in a simulated countdown. If successful, the 806 pound camera craft would fly to the moon aboard a Atlas-Agena, snap thousands of photos and return images to Earth within 24 to 48 hours of impact. The mission, the nation’s 16th lunar probe, follows six prior Ranger attempts, five of which failed.

Regionwide rain drought looms over South Plains
July rainfall across the area is near record lows with no relief in sight. Officials warn of worsening rangeland and dryland crop losses while Silverton and nearby towns face water concerns as irrigation and soil moisture run thin. Weather officials blame a persistent high pressure system for the dry pattern and lack of thunderstorm activity.
