Weather Keeps Rockets Grounded Plans Soar
Winds at Cape Canaveral delay new launches as Army and Navy contemplate Explorer I and follow-on satellites. Army eyes a 700 pound instrumented craft before year end to aid space station development while a 300 pound TV reconnaissance satellite and a 700 pound Explorer IV are planned. Dr. von Braun and Maj. Gen. Medaris seek permission to build the big satellite using Redstone rocket tech. Explorer I may endure up to 10 years in orbit, observers say, due to high altitude and reduced drag compared to Sputnik I.
