Super - Rockets
Would Lift Convoy
Of Ships Into Orbit
DENVER, Colo. Ufi — A new
generation of superrockets, capable
of lifting a “convoy” of four multi
ton spaceships into orbit, could be
ready for a manned expedition to
Mars in 1975 if the nation decided
to make a try then, an industrial
space technologist said Thursday.
The rockets, far surpassing any
thing the United States and pre
sumably even the Soviet Union,
now has or is developing, would
each range up to 380 feet in height
and weight up to nearly 40 million
pounds, pack thrusts up to 56 mil
lion pounds, and be capable of
lofting more than a million pounds
of payload at a time into earth
orbit for a subsequent getaway on
the highway to Mars.
Andrew Kalitinsky of General
Dynamics Corp. told about it in
making the first report on a gov
ernment-commissioned study to ex
plore possibilities for developing
so-called Nova launch, vehicles.
Nova has long been a concept
in the minds of space engineers.
Conceived as a possible good bet
for manned planetary missions, it
would call for a rocket that would
make even the Saturn 5 man-to
the-moon rocket look puny. The
Saturn 5 will pack a 7Vz million
pound thrust, Kalitinsky reported
to the symposium.
Will Attend Workshop
Harry (Cookie) Johnsen, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Johnsen, who
just returned home from the Uni
versity of Alaska, leaves soon for
Boulder, Colo., where he will at
tend a summer American Indian
Workshop in sociology and anthro
pology from June 17 to July 26. He
will be accompanied by Frances
Degnan of Unalakleet and Linda
Bartolaba of Sitka.
