Ranger On Moon Mission Pictures 4 000 Shots Planned
CAPE KENNEDY Fla AP Spacecraft Ranger 8 rocketed toward the moon to photograph about 4 000 images as part of a quest begun by Ranger 7. The Atlas Agena launch at 12 05 p.m. sent a 104 foot tall, 138 ton rocket aloft to a quarter million mile voyage aimed at solving lunar mysteries before American crews reach the surface in 1969. The craft, 809 pounds, will perform complex maneuvers and land near the Sea of Tranquility about 5 a m Saturday after a 234 300 mile trip. The mission seeks better detail than Ranger 7, whose 4 312 pictures showed tiny craters and surface rubble, guiding experts through debates on lunar dust depth and terrain. Ranger 8 will transmit more than 4 000 photos, revealing shadows from rocks and peaks to settle questions about the moon’s surface.
