US Scientists Track Soviet Satellite with 24 Hour to Week Lead
U S scientists said they have a good fix on the Soviet satellite and can pilot its path ahead from 24 hours to a week. Naval Laboratory officials report readings precise to one part in a millionth of a second. The object follows a fairly circular orbit at a minimum height of 400 miles, with six overflights daily, crossing the United States in a north south pattern. The device is part of the IGY program and Russian officials claim it has yielded valuable scientific data. American researchers expect small test vehicles later and full 20 inch satellites next spring. Data obtained will be shared internationally.

U S Officials May Photograph Russian Moon
U S observatories may obtain photographs of the Russian Earth satellite within eight or nine days. Dr J Allen Hynek in charge of optical tracking at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory said orbit is well determined by radio tracking and noted a pass near Boston at 8 a m EDT with the satellite about 80 miles northeast of the city. A later pass is expected between 11 p m and midnight EDT off the coast. Dr Gordon B Little of the University of Alaska reported a visual sighting, which Hynek says could not be mistaken for the rocket’s third stage.
