PLANS TO EXPLORE SPACE BY ROCKETS Professor to Use Projectiles to Go 150 Miles. Koswell, N. M.?-Rockets equipped with automatic recording devices will he ahot Into the stratosphere to n distance of from 40 to 180 miles from the earth's surface from an especially constructed do foot tower near here this spring In science's latest attempt to penetrate the secrets behind cosmic rays, light rays and radio waves. The experiments will he the culmination of months of work on the part of I>r. R II. Ooddard. head of the <lepnrtment of physics at Clarke university. Worcester. Mass,, who expects they will yield data of great value to science. One immediate beneficiary would he radio broadcasting. , The tower Is rising In a shallow valley 28 miles from Koswell. In the meantime Doctor Ooddard Is carrying out preliminary experiments on a farm four miles from here, aided by a staff of assistants. The Guggenheim foundation is financing the unique tests. Itoswell was selected for the site of the experiments because of unique atmospheric and climatic conditions. The type of rocket to he used Is 12 feet long and approximately 2 feet' in diameter at Its widest point. It is equipped with a parachute designed to he released at the highest point of Its flight. There Is no danger of the rocket causing injury, Doctor Goddard believes. as he calculated it will return to the earth almost vertically, and its flight will he under control from the tower at all times. The tower site Is 15 miles from the nearest settlement. Advantages of the rocket ascensions over stratosphere halloon flights lie In the fnct that balloons, to rise beyond 14 miles, must be of such great size and at the same time such light weight that construction dangerous to passen gers results, according to Doctor Goddard. He pointed to the fatal outcome of the 72,000 feet stratosphere ascension of three Soviet Kussiuns. The date of the projected tests will depend on the results of ground experiments now being conducted here. "There Is n long period of testing before any practical results ure certain," Doctor Goddard explained. "We will probably spend several months 1c the laboratory before any test will b made."
