The satellite, to be launched by a Thor inter- mediate range ballistic missile, would have a "recoverable capsule" - presumably a detach- able pod that could be parachuted to earth with photographs and other reconnaissance data.

The Air Force is aiming at putting a test satellite into orbit this year, probably by next October. This would follow scientific satellites expected to be launched by the Navy and Army.
