Called off last week by the U.S. Air Force was the great capsule hunt in the icy wilds of Spitzbergen. There-somewhere-the telltale orange parachute with the instrumented nose capsule of Discoverer II was seen to drop into the mountains after it was ejected from orbit. And there Norwegian coal miners, U.S. air-rescue squadrons and helpful Norwegian helicopter pilots scoured the bleak, white mountains for eight days (TIME, April 27).

Only the day before the phone call, the U.S. had launched its eighth successful satellite, Discoverer II. It blasted from its launching pad at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, its nose fitted with a 160-lb. capsule, its second stage jammed with equipment measuring the satellite's ability to stabilize itself in free flight (see SCIENCE). Significantly, the capsule was the first of its kind, a forerunner of the type that will later carry biomedical specimens and pave the way for the development of reconnaissance and man-in-space satellites...
...them will always face fairly accurately toward the sun. Both surfaces of the paddles will be covered with a mosaic of cells made of thin sheets of a photoelectric material (probably silicon) that turns sunlight into electricity. The paddles will be folded when the satellite is in the nose of its launching rocket and will snap into position as soon as it is spaceborne. The array of solar batteries is expected to develop as much as 400 watts, about enough to run a small toaster. Most of the energy will be stored in nickel-cadmium batteries. When triggered...
