Discoverer Nose Cone Study Set In Sunnyvale
A 300 pound gold plated nose cone from Discoverer KXXVL arrived in Sunnyvale after a polar orbit record voyage of 1,682,07 miles and 8 hours 29 minutes. Scientists at Space Systems Command will study the capsule mechanism and radiation shielding. Three Air Force para- Frog men recovered the nose cone in the Pacific and awaited the USS Renshaw. The nose cone was the 11th recovered from Discoverer XXXVI.
