...frail, light, short-lived companion. Developed by William J. O'Sullivan Jr. (following a long-discussed idea), the inflated sub-satellite is a balloon of Mylar plastic .0025 in. thick covered with an aluminum film .0006 in. thick. When released from the third-stage rocket, it will weigh 10½ oz. complete and look like a wad of aluminum foil. A small capsule of compressed dry nitrogen will expand the plastic to a sphere 20 in. in diameter, which will follow at first the same orbit as the hardshelled satellite. Gradually the two will separate. The sub-satellite will...
Associates say he is a man of both caution and action, and that while Princeton can expect no dramatic changes right away, Goheen certainly "looks forward" and will use an impressive imagination to better the status quo. He will listen, seek to find, weigh, and then decide...
...first the satellite will have to get off the ground. It will be set into its orbit by a three-stage rocket, in which succeeding sections drop off as their energy is exhausted. The whole thing will weigh about ten tons, and the first stage will reach 40 miles and 4,000 miles per hour before dropping off. The next stage will carry it to 130 miles, and the final will put it into its orbit, ranging from 200 to 800 miles aloft and traveling at a speed of 18,000 miles per hour, or enough to revolve about...

Perfumed, glowing and gowned in slinky silk, she lies awake late into the night-studying scores while husband
With some 40 other witnesses still to testify, Captain Calamai's was by no means the last word on the collision. But when the time came to weigh evidence in the cases involving $40 million in lawsuits, it would be a hard word to ignore because of his impressive manner and his solid record of 20 years of ocean-going command without mishap prior to the collision with Stockholm...
