Vanguard Rocket Blasts U S Weather Eye Into Orbit
The 214 pound Vanguard II satellite, designed to measure cloud cover for weather forecasting, was launched from Cape Canaveral aboard a redesigned three stage rocket at 10 55 a m EST. NASA reported the satellite in orbit about two hours after launch, marking a new era in meteorology and weather control efforts. The mission aims to provide data on cloud distribution over about 25 percent of the earth chiefly north of the equator, relayed by radio for crude weather mapping. The launch followed a history of prior failures, with Vanguard II being the sixth U S satellite in orbit.

Mystery solid fuel rocket fired from Cape Canaveral

The 40 foot craft, similar in exhaust to Polaris, was fired Monday from the test center and produced jet-like exhaust over the ocean.
