Lillie Motor Will
(illicit* Mariner on
Course to Venus
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. W —
A small ace-in -She-hole motor
weighing 37.3 pounds is the big
key to America’s attaining the
world's most significant inter
planetary achievement —- shooting
the Mariner 2 spacecraft on an
exploratory mission past Venus.
If the complex space messenger
sweeps within 10,000 miles of
Venus in December as planned—
after a 180-million mile trip — it
would mark a major breakthrough
for the United States in the race
for space.
Information relayed by Mariner
2 could help scientists and astron
omers unravel secrets concealed
for centuries by the planet’s con
stant cloud layers. It could deter
mine whether life as we know it
possibly could exist on the planet,
something doubted by most sci
entists.
The spacecraft motor became all
important Monday when analysis
of tracking data indicated an ex
cellent chance Mariner 2 can be
directed from the ground to the
vicinity of Venus even though it
is far off course.
The critical firing of the motor
by ground signal is scheduled
tentatively for next Tuesday, Sept.
4, after the flight path, alignment,
speed and other factors have been
carefully computed.
It is essential that the probe ap
proach within 25,000 miles of Venus
if it is to gather the desired meas
urements.
The trajectory error was caused
by an unexplained rolling motion
executed by the first stage of the
Atlas-Agcna B booster rocket.
At the time of midcourse maneu
ver, Mariner 2 will be about one
million miles from earth, traveling
about 6,800 miles an hour.
