Short Life Seen For New Satellite
Cape Canaveral reports Explorer III, the Army satellite, followed a rare orbit pattern reaching about 2100 miles out then dipping to 100 miles high. Maj. Gen. Medaris expects a short life of about two weeks due to atmospheric drag and gravity. Von Braun cites early stage ignition as a cause for the incomplete orbit. The launch follows Vanguard and Sputnik precedents. Explorer I had launched Jan. 31 with Explorer II failing to reach orbit. The craft measures 80 inches by 6 inches, weighing 31 pounds, and aims to study both high and low altitude air densities for future manned and unmanned flight.
