...mention of Bell in your otherwise excellent article on Tom Jones and the aerospace industry. An old-line aircraft company, known as Bell Aircraft until purchased by Textron Inc. last year, Bell directed energies and recognized talents toward navigation, space and new concepts of flight. Bell's Agena liquid rocket engine has put more payload in orbit than any other, has fired 33 times in Discoverer-Agena-Midas programs for 100% reliability record...
...North American F-1 engines, is programed to put a three-man spacecraft called Apollo into orbit around the moon. In the meantime, the U.S. hopes to start landing instruments on the moon next year with an improved version of the Atlas missile; it will have a liquid hydrogen engine in its second stage, match the power of Russia's 1,000,000-lb. rockets. By 1967, the U.S. hopes to land men on the moon with the Nova, a rocket still under study that may end up being powered by clusters of F-1 engines...
...liquid salt, the AEC hopes, will prove an energy reservoir from which power can be extracted, probably by injecting water into the cavity and taking it out as high-pressure steam, capable of running a turbine. No one expects that the first small explosion (cost: $5,500,000) will yield power cheap enough to be economically competitive. Even if all the energy in the 5-kiloton Domb were recovered as electric power, it would cost nearly $1 per kwh. Conventional coal-fired power stations produce electricity for less than...
Thiokol Chemical Corp. was launched into aerospace by a chemist's accidental discovery that its synthetic rubber made the best solid rocket fuel. Thiokol has since branched into liquid fuel, did $172 million in sales last year...
...Products & Chemicals Inc. of Trexlertown, Pa. is riding the crest of a liquid oxygen wave as the major supplier for missile engines, last year did 63% of its $49 million sales with the Government. The company became expert at handling the extremely cold LOX through its sales of small commercial on-site generators...
