ASTRONAUTICS AND AERONAUTICS, 1967 January 26 0 Messages from President Johnson and Japan’s Prime Minister Eisaku Sat0 were exchanged between Washington, D.C., and Tokyo in ceremony inaugurating commercial service via ComSatCorp’s Intelsat II-B comsat. In President‘ Johnson’s message, delivered by Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.), he said: “The beginning of Pacific satellite service tonight is more than a great technical feat: It is a promise of deeper understanding between the peoples of East and West. . . .” Ceremony also included live color television exchanges and telephone, teletype, facsimile, and photograph transmissions between the two capital cities. Intelsat II-B was launched by NASA from ETR Jan. 11. (ComSatCorp Release) 0 Apollo Applications (AA) briefing was held at NASA Hq. Dr. George E. Mueller, Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight, presented most detailed statement to date on the program. He said plans were to form an “embryonic space station” in 1968-69 by clustering four AA payloads launched with Uprated Saturn I boosters. First mission would be launch of manned spacecraft, followed several days later by launch of spent S-IVB stage converted into a workshop. After two spacecraft had docked, crew would enter workshop through an airlock. They would prepare workshop for storage and return to earth in their spacecraft 28 days later. In three to six months, second manned capsule would be launched on 56-day mission to deliver re- supply module to workshop and rendezvous with unmanned Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) , fourth and last launch in series. Cluster would be joined with multiple docking launched on S-IVB workshop. Em- phasizing the importance of manning the ATM, Dr. Mueller said: “. . . if there is one thing the scientific community is agreed on it is that when you want to have a major telescope instrument in space it needs to be manned. “First of all you need him to point it. Second, you need him to be able to change the films and so on. Thirdly, you need him to main- tain it so when something goes wrong he can fix it instead of having to sit here on the ground and be frustrated by the fact that some little gadget didn’t quite trip when it should have. . . .” Dr. Mueller said principal areas toward which $454.7 million FY 1968 post-Apollo effort would be directed were “development of extended flight capability, the conduct of manned astronomical and Earth observations from space, and continued exploration of the Moon.” (Transcript; Marshall Star, 2/1/67,7-8; Clark, NYT, 1/30/67,2; Reistrup, W Post, 1/27/67, A7) In his annual “defense posture” statement to the Senate Armed Services and Appropriations Committees, U.S. Secretary of Defense McNamara made a determined attempt both to persuade Congress not to insist on a U.S. antimissile defense and to dissuade the U.S.S.R. from continuing her efforts to deploy such a system. McNamara said U.S. and Soviet nuclear missiles were so effective that neither country could hope to protect itself against the other in time of war, and an increase in defensive capability by one power could easily be offset by an increase in the offensive capability of the other. A major policy statement by Soviet Defense Minister Malinovsky pub- lished in Kommunist had stressed strategic offensive missiles, without referring to U.S.-U.S.S.R.’s burgeoning antimissile defense system.
