U S Blast Belt Silences 3 Satellites
The United States disclosed a new radiation belt created by a July 3 nuclear explosion that has knocked out three satellites. The AEC and Defense Department, in a joint release, said the belt lies above manned flight paths and poses no danger to near-term space launches. Telstar and two other satellites reportedly suffered no damage as fragments from a Russian rocket were tracked in a slow, short-lived Earth orbit. Scientists offered no clear purpose for the rocket and noted a narrow window for Venus-shot timing.
