Timing device off af gives up plans to recover satellite
Washington reports that government space experts abandoned plans to recover a capsule from Discoverer H after tracking indicated infeasibility. Roy Johnson noted a firing apparatus problem in the 1600 pound vehicle, at Vandenberg Air Force Base. The 4600 pound Discoverer H remains in polar orbit carrying a test capsule intended to aid future space station returns. Earlier Discoverer I launch and Vanguard failed second stage ignition tests compounded delays.
