Redstone plans for a 700-pound satellite and space station
Army and Navy space efforts advance as scientists seek to build Explorer IV using a Redstone based five stage launcher to push a 500 to 700 pound satellite to 18,000 mph for an 150 to 300 mile orbit, enabling a unmanned space station with robot telescope capabilities. Vanguard aims for further small moon tests amid Cape Canaveral wind delays. Explorer I's success sparks US Soviet commentary on peaceful competition in space science.
