Soviets Launch Animal-Carrying Space Rocket
MOSCOW — (UPI) — The Soviet Union launched its third space ship of the year today carrying plants, animals, insects and two dogs named "Little Bee" and "Little Fly."
(A scientist at Britain's Jodrell Bank Observatory said the feat shows the Russians now are capable of putting a man into space and bringing him back safely. "We expect a similar launching with a man aboard any day now," he said.)
TASS SAID the "Sputnik-kip,"
without the last stage of the carrier
rocket weighs about five tons which
makes it the heaviest of all the
man-made satellites.
The official Soviet Tass News Agency said the experimental animals are being watched with radio-television and telemetering systems.
Ivan Shevlyakov, chief of the Moscow Planetarium's Scientific Department, said this space ship is circling closer to the earth than previous Soviet space vehicles.
"THAT MEANS the present space ship cannot fly for a long time," he said. "If they are not going to bring it down to earth, it means it will burn up very soon in the friction of the earth's atmosphere as it gradually loses altitude. It is flying very close to the earth's atmosphere where the friction is high. We don't know yet if they plan to bring this space ship back to earth."
Tass said the space ship is circling the earth in a cigar-shaped orbit every 88.6 minutes. It is following a path ranging from 115 miles above the earth at its nearest point to 164 miles at its farthest. The vehicle is at a 65-degree angle of inclination to the equatorial plane of the earth, and its radio transmitter is operating on 19.995 megacycles.
College physics courses, for example, are usually rather distinctively made up for future engineers. They are perhaps satisfactory for secondary teachers' but the typical elementary teacher throws up her hands in 'dismay and says, "How can I use this stuff?" —Herbert A. Smith.
