Temperatures Nasa from Page 1 the recent explosions of the much larger Titan and Delta rockets and la space shuttle the government did not announce the failure of a Nike Orion research rocket carrying a pollution sampling device. In response to questions the malfunction was described by Debbie Gingham a spokeswoman for the . Army missile Range and by or. Edward c. Zipf a Geo physicist at the University of Pittsburgh who conducted the Experiment far Nasa this was very rare. I think this partic ular series of rockets the so Caf cd Orion family had flown 120 times and this was the first failure Zipf said. This system of rockets a been flying for about six or seven the Nike rocket was developed in the Early 1950s As a ground based missile against aircraft. It was used in different military versions until the last one was re tired list year from Nike Hercules batteries in Europe. Nasa has been using the surplus solid fuel Nike Booster in combination with an other solid fuel military surplus rocket the Orion. In the configuration that failed lust month be rocket and payload combination was 30 feel Long. The Racket was supposed to deliver zips Experiment to an Altitude of so Miles but he said it got no higher than 6,000 to 7,000 feet. There the burned out Nike first stage failed to separate before inc second stage Orion ignited. The rocket veered off erratically and deployed the Parachute that brought the $40,000 payload Back to Earth with Only a few scratches but no data. All the Racket debris and the payload fell in the desert of the White Sands Range. We arc going o Fly again in August this is just a momentary problem with one of these War surplus rockets Zipf said there is no investigation of the rocket. It went largely unnoticed because it u such a Small thing in the Overall perspective of things and because the payload was nut lost zips payload weighing 800 pounds had been used 14 times previously. It collects and freezes samples of air which Are returned to Earth and Analysed. A week earlier on april 18, the same Day the Titan rocket exploded eight seconds after launch from Vandenburg fab in California there was another malfunction Dur ing one of Zipf i launches from White Sands. On that Dale the Nike Orion achieved the required Altitude but a Nasa supplied nose Cone explosive did not work prevent ing the payload from taking any air sum pics. Army u. Co. David Burpee said at inc Pentagon. Also the Marshall Center announced Fri Day that Mulloy was being transferred to another Job.
