Sputnik

By JOHN A. HARRIS
WASHINGTON (Pl — A gov-
ernment scientist says Russia’s
Sputnik—which has circled the
earth for 12 days—may plunge
from its orbit and burst into
flames within a week.
That view, expressed by Rob-
ert Jastrow of the Naval Re-
search Laboratory here, gener-
ally runs counter to other West-
ern predictions that the satel-
lite might remain aloft for sev-
eral months, possibly a year.
Jastrow, a theoretical consult-
ant at the laboratory, also said
last night there were indications
Sputnik was losing altitude. On
a recent pass over Washington,
he added, the satellite's alti-
tude was estimated at 147 miles.
Most previous estimates have
had the orbit ranging from 170
miles up to about 560 miles.
"Based on this altitude, the
way it looks at the moment the
satellite might burn out in a
week," he said. "It most prob-
ably will disintegrate and burn
up. depending on its design and
altitude.”
A report broadcast by Mos-
cow Monday night also Indicat-
ed Sputnik likely would fall
from outer space in a week.
