I X-15 Hunts Safe Way for
Moon Ships to Re-enter
Earth’s Atmosphere
EWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. (/P> — X-15 pilot Joseph A.
Walker streaked into space and
back at mile-a-second speeds yes
terday, hunting a safe way for
moon ships to re-enter the earth’s
atmosphere.
Walker rocketed to about 200,000
feet, slowed momentarily at the
top of his climb, then plummeted
downward at a speed estimated at
more than 3,600 mph.
His mission was to find a solu
tion to a critical hazard Air Force
Maj. Robert White encountered
on his record-setting flight to 314,
750 feet July 17.
Space Agency officials said
White had trouble with an instru
ment which indicated his angle of
attack — the attitude of the plane
in relation to its flight path. This
instrument is activated by air
pressure and there are onlv stray
molecules of air at that altitude.
For a time White didn’t know
which way he was pointed. And
he had to be pointed right when
he plunged back into the atmo
sphere or his plane might start
tumbling and be destroyed by air
friction.
With the usual attitude indicator
out of order. White had to rely on
a different instrument to deter
mine proper attitude and keep his
plane stable for re-entry.
This instrument, which tells the
angle of pitch or climb — the
flight path in relation to the hori
zon, depends on an intertial guid
ance device rather than air pres
sure. Its tiny whirling gyros, which
the X-15's electronic brain can use
as a stability reference regardless
of whether it is in the atmosphere
or in space, helped White land
safely.
