' Edwards Air Force Base Calif — America's apace-
probing manned rocket ship X-15 was taken aloft for the
first time today In a "captive" teat with a pilot strappod
inside the cackpit
The dart-shaped refearch airplane was carried high
over the Mo jave Desert about 05 miles northeast Of Los
Angeles by a "mother ship" B-52 bomber at 11:50 cm
Oklahoma time to begin a long series of steps toward man-
kind's venture above the earth's atmosphere
The X-15 was returned to earth in one hour and
nine minutes with all controls checked out perfectly
In the initial flight the X-15 was nestled without
yocket fuel but with test pilot Scott Crossfield aboard un-
der the giant sweptback wing of the modified carry plane
The little rocket vehicle thus did not fly by itself on the
first aerial outing
Crossfield 37-year-old civilian
engineer for North American
Aviation wore his specially de
signed crash helmet and silvery
space suit for the test eventually
expected to take pilots at 4500
miles an hour up to 100 miles into
space
He sat in the snug cockpit just
back of the needle nose The 50
foot long craft was slung under
the B-52's right wing and attached
with intercom and other connee-
tions to determine operational
hazards when both are flying
together
Crossfield's mission also wal
to break loose—if necessary—
from the mother Stratofod in
event the multimillion dollar
space vehicle should have to
land by itself on the sun-baked
dry lake bed of Edwards Air
Force Base
The X-15 often referred to as
part airplane and part space ship
but more like man-controlled
