ASTRONAUTICS AND AERONAUTICS, 1967 November 8 November 8: The earth from 22,300 miles in space-color photography transmitted by NASA’s Ats III satellite to Rosman, N.C., ground station beginning Nov. 8. This photo, transmitted Nov. 10, shows portions of North and South America, Africa, and Europe and the Greenland ice cap, The Antarctic continent is under cloud cover. A cold front is moving eastward over the central United States and a tropical storm can be seen at bottom center, with a cold front extending into Argentina. adjustments of funding under R&D operations for the remainder of FY 1968. Fund reallocation (congressional appropriation figures in paren- theses) showed : Apollo Applications, $253.2 (315.5) million ; OSSA, $568.1 (528.0) million; OART, $318.7 (301.5) million; OTDA, $275.0 (270.0) million. In more detail, on OSSA, physics and astronomy $141.5 (130.0) million; lunar and planetary, $143.4 (125.0) million; launch vehicle procurement, $141.9 ( 145.0) million; bioscience, $41.8 (40.0) - million; space applications, $99.5 (88.0) million. On OART, electronics systems, $39.2 (35.0) million; space vehicle systems, $35.0 (no change) million; human factors systems, $21.0 (no change) million; basic research, $21.5 (20.0) million; space power and electric propulsion systems, $44.0 (no change) million; nuclear rockets, $54.0 (46.5) million; chemical propulsion, $37.2 (35.0) million; and aeronautics, $66.8 (65.0) 337
November 8 ASTRONAUTICS AND AERONAUTICS, 1967 million. Sustaining university was $10.0 (no change) million, and tech- nology utilization, $4.0 (no change) million. Webb presented rather brief outline on present long-range planning for lunar and planetary mission hardware. Limited funds could continue development of flight-qualified engine for NERVA I and would support plans for first Apollo Applications flights in 1970. Two Mars-Mariner flights for 1969 would be the “last in present program.” Five Mariner flights in 1970s, two or more Titan I11 launches in Voyager series in 1973, and Saturn V flight in 1975 could be considered in FY 1969 budget. Webb reasoned that NASA could “use the Atlas-Centaur . . . and the Titan I11 with transtage, to move out into further planetary operations but with very limited expenditures in 1968 and’1969.” Responding to questions by Senate Committee on Aeronautical and Space sciences, Webb referred to recent csc decision on NASA personnel contracts and said he would join with csc chairman and the Comptroller General in working out pattern for support contracts, the KSC contract providing his guidelines. (Testimony ; transcript) In a prelaunch press conference at Launch Complex #39, KSC, NASA Deputy Administrator Robert C. Seamans, Jr., referred to high points of Nov. 9 scheduled launch of Apollo 4: “. . . Apollo 4 launch is . . . most diffi- cult and significant milestone to date [and] tomorrow we’ll be flight testing the Saturn V for the first time. We’ll be flight testing on Apollo spacecraft entering the atmosphere at lunar return speeds for the first time. We’ll be live-testing our launch and operational facilities for the first time, and we’ll be testing our development and operational team in its first major mission attempt for the first time. I am certain this team . . . will not be found wanting.” (Text) 0 Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul H. Nitze, in response to statement made Nov. 6 by Rep. Craig Hosmer (R-Calif.) , member, Joint Committee on Atomic Energy’s Military Applications Subcommittee, during hearings on ABM systems, answered: “First we are taking steps to protect Minute- man against much better Soviet offenses than we actually expect. Sec- ondly, even if any two of the three elements of our second-strike forces- our land-based ICBMS, our submarine-based Polaris and Poseidon, and our strategic bombers-were rendered useless by some unforeseeable dis- aster, the remaining element could by itself inflict unacceptable dam- age on the U.S.S.R.” He compared effectiveness (number of targets destroyed) of 10 50-kt warheads in a Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) configuration to the same effectiveness of one large yield-10 mt-warhead, and stated that “the MIRVS provide much mort: effective payloads . . . by every relevant criterion of military effectiveness, even though they deliver much less total megatonnage.” Re- sponse to Hosmer’s statement by Nitze had been made at request of Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. (Text) * FAA, despite qualified objections of air carriers, announced Dec. 15 effective date for imposition of speed limit of 250 kph (288 mph) for all aircraft operating below 14000 ft mean sea level [see Sept. 11. FAA believed its action would give pilots more time to “see and avoid” other air traffic in the Nation’s most heavily traveled airspace. Larger airlines felt collision avoidance systems and automated terminal approach systems would go further to reduce the growing number of midair colli- sions; they would have preferred a speed limit from 5,000 ft down to surface. Air Line Pilots Assn. endorsed rule, at the same time making 338
