Man-Macle Satellites To Circle Earth

By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL

WASHINGTON, (AP) -President Eisenhower dis- closed Friday the Uniied States plans to launch the first man-made, earth-encircling satellites by the end of 1958.

Still not perfected. the satellites are envisaged by government scientists as small globes, about the size of basket balls. They would be launched by rockets and circle the earth once every 90 minutes at a speed of 18.000 miles an hour and a height of 200 or 300 miles.

They are expected to remain aloft for days and per- haps weeks. then spiral back down and disintegrate u they hit heavier atmosphere.
