Ranger Transmits Photos
WORLD AND NATIONAL NEWS
In a major first for the U.S. space program, Ranger 9 transmitted 200 photographs of the pocked and broken, surface of the moon live to U.S. television audiences early yesterday.
The pictures fed to the TV networks came from a newly-developed device called a scan converter, which speeded up signals from the spacecraft so that they could be received on standard broadcast sets.
In other space news, one of the two astronauts who made three orbits of the earth Tuesday in the Molly Brown spacecraft was reported ill. Doctors on hand believed, however, that the ailment was seasickness, not a result of the flight.
