Ready For Flight
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) WOOMERA, May 28. The count-down for the launching of the Blue Streak rocket was resumed tonight after the replacement of a faulty part in the auto-pilot system. The rocket is now due to lift off about 3.30 p.m. (N.Z. time) on Friday on a 1000mile, 10-minute flight into the north-west Australian desert. Launching was postponed early this morning after discovery of a minor fault in the auto-pilot, which steers Blue Streak.
