NASA Announces Russ
Spacecraft Explodes Into
24 Orbiting Pieces
WASHINGTON M — One of
several Soviet spacecraft about
which the Russians have said
nothing apparently exploded into
24 orbiting pieces shortly after
launching last fall, the U.S. Space
Agency reports.
In any event, it probably was
the biggest bust-up in space since
the U.S. Transit 4A satellite vehicle
shattered into 186 separate orbit
ing parts after launching June 29,
1961.
The hitherto unreported Soviet
spraying of orbital debris occurred
last Oct. 24. There was no indi
cation in the U.S. report whether
the spacecraft could have been
manned.
The breaking up of the Soviet
satellite was brought to light in
a satellite situation report pub
lished semi-monthly by the Na
tional Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration’s Goddard Space
Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
The disclosure clearly was the
result of the recently announced
change in policy under which
NASA is to make public all non
classified space flight data sent
to it by the North American Air
Defense Command and other
agencies. NORAD, among its other
duties, tracks foreign objects in
orbit.
For many montns, virtually an
information on Soviet shots, ex
cept for data announced by Mos
cow, was withheld from the NASA
reports even though the informa
tion had no apparent military sig
nificance.
The pieces of the unsuccessful
Soviet shot began dropping back
into the earth’s atmosphere on Oct.
29, five days after launching, NASA
said.
The last section left orbit Feb.
26.
