The army shot is expected about dec. 5. The principal difference is that the army will not attempt to put its robot into an orbit around the Moon and therefore can discard the Retro rocket that was part of the air Force payload. The Retro rocket was designed to kick the air Force vehicle into a Moon orbit had it reached the Moon s Vicinity. The army robot is scheduled to bypass the Moon and then move into an orbit around the Sun a feat that will require no extra kick.

As i have often insisted they Are not necessary since our weapons strength in the megaton Range has already gone beyond rational Bounds. But tests of Small weapons requite a different proposition.
