CAPE KENNEDY. Fla.,
(AP) — Recent successes in
America’s man-to-the mooni
drive may permit the space
agency to squeeze in three |
manned Apollo flights this
year, with the first launch
perhaps two months sooner
than scheduled.
The National Aeronautics I
and Space Administration s I
announced schedule rails for |
astronauts Walter M. Schirra
jr„ Donn F. Eisele and Wal-
ter Cunningham to ride the
first manned Apollo moon-
ship into earth orbit in the
^ “last quarter" of this year, I
meaning no sooner than Oc-jl
,,tober. ’I
March 21 Date Set
Unofficially, h o w e v e r.
sources say the flight could
occur much earlier, perhaps
August. They point out that
current schedules call for the
spacecraft to arrive at Cape
Kennedy toward the end of
March. The planned launch,
preparation time is about,
four months.
The success of America’s
second Saturn 5 superrocket'|
launching, now scheduled for
March 21. plus some key ad-
ministrativo decisions to he

by NASA planners will deter-,|

eommanded mission is in
fact moved up and whether I

are attempted this year.

Saturn 5 which will be used j

Mission Pushed
The official schedule now
includes another Saturn 1
launching this spring for aj
second unmanned test of a
lunar module, the craft that ]
will ferry astronauts between i
the moon's surface and an
Apollo command ship in lu-
nar orbit.
Although a decision is not
expected until March, mostj
experts now agree that the]
first lunar module test last
January 22 was so successful
that a second unmanned
flight will not be necessary,
permitting launch crews to|
concentrate on the Schirra I
mission.
ThP first manned flight I
aboard a Saturn 5 now offi-
cially is not scheduled until
the fourth launching of the]
superrocket.
However, project officials j
have left open the possibility i
that — If the second Saturn 5
is as successful as the first
— NASA may decide to skip
a third unmanned test of the |
mighty booster.
