Moon Shot In Orbit
Cape Kennedy Fla AP An unmanned model of the Apollo moonship was rocketed into orbit by a Saturn 1 booster in a first test toward manned lunar landings. The 20 billion program aims to lift three man crews into earth orbit within two years to prepare for lunar trips later this decade. The Saturn 1, in its sixth straight test flight, generated 1.5 million pounds thrust. The rocket burned out after 146 seconds and the second stage ignited with 90 000 pounds thrust. The upper stage and boiler plate carried the Apollo model into orbit above 100 miles at 17 400 mph, guided by a new system to be used for future moon missions. Orbital figures were provisional. the satellite, 37 300 pounds, would circle Earth 87 times about 55 hours before burning up.
