Spell TrouMe
For U.S. Spy in Sky
WASHINGTON (/!’ — Soviet pre
cisi( n in launching satellites —
plunking a pair of manned space
craft into matching orbits — could
spell trouble for thi U.S. “Spy in
the Sky” systems.
These warnings and surveillance
systems are still in the develop
ment stage.
A number of vehicles have been
put into orbit during the past
months, some of them presumably
equipped with instruments for re
porting data back to U.S. receiving
stalions. The systems are still a
year or more away from being
completely operational and useful.
Over the weekend, the Soviet
Union showed that she has achieved
a Ions; step leading eventually
toward ability to intercept satel
lites—either for purposes of peace
ful space exploration or for in- ]
spec!ion and destruction. j
The Soviet scientists succeeded, j
on the basis of their own reports
and on data from other sources, in
putting Vostok IV on the same
plane and virtually within sight of
Vostok III.
To do this, fantastic accuracy, !
in timing, rocket-engine burning
control and computation had to be
attained.
Scientists figure the Soviet
launchers had an interval of less
than 14 seconds to fire Vostok IV,
during the 18th orbit of the first
satellite, in order to put them both
into the same track and in proxi
mity.
There were reports in Washing
ton that the precision was even
better than announced initially by I
the Soviet Union, being virtually
a perfect matching of plane,
heights and time.
What this could mean to U.S.
military officials is that the So
viets may be able to convert this
demonstration into the practical i
applications for knocking down ■
American Spy-in-the-Sky satellites. I
This possibility has been con
sidered for some time and by top
ranking officials.
It now costs taxpayers more
than a million dollars an hour mere
ly to pay the interest on our fed
eral debt.
