...Soviet space experts learned, they added little to Gaga's own story. They published only the bare statistics of the flight: it lasted 108 minutes, of which 89 minutes were actually spent in orbit; the rest was climbing to orbit and descent to the earth. Academician Evgeny Fedorov, one of the big brains of the Soviet space program, spoke briefly about the descent. It was accomplished with retrorockets, which slowed the Vostok and brought it down into a "braking zone" of gradually thickening air. There the ship was heated by friction and suffered tremendous strain, but the braking effect...
...Fedorov's account suggested that the cosmonaut landed inside his space capsule, but according to other sources in Russia, Major Gagarin parachuted out of the capsule before it hit the ground. Space Scientist Nikolai Gurovsky said: "The cosmonaut came down smoothly in a glade near a field. Landing on his feet, without even tumbling, he walked up to the people...
...making. Four Russian missile tracking ships were spotted on picket duty in the Pacific, deployed in a vast diamond pattern that has been observed only once before-when Khrushchev was on his way to the U.N. But in Moscow, the scientific secretary of the Academy of Sciences, Yevgeny Fedorov, solemnly warned last week: "Much time is still needed to ensure complete safety for man in space flight...
...detection of a single underground test explosion-the Rainier shot in September 1957-but had pulled up short after the Hardtack shots in Nevada in October 1958 could not be distinguished from small earthquakes. The Russian scientists had agreed to consider the evidence. Instead, the U.S.S.R.'s Evgeny Fedorov charged in the Geneva report that it was "the brink of absurdity." Fedorov went on to charge the Western scientists with deliberate "misrepresentation . . . manipulation ... a tendentious use of one-sidedly developed material for the purpose of undermining confidence." The President's advisers concluded that the Russians, in their assault...
Fisk, home from Geneva, summarized the technical aspects of the talks. In nontechnical and blunt terms, AEC Chairman McCone read out Fedorov's attack on the U.S. scientists, whereupon the President's face reddened with anger. Together the President and the committee drew up the toughest diplomatic statement to appear since Khrushchev's visit...
