The Russians, elated at the shot, said the station would have to travel for more than three months before reaching the "area of the planet Venus' the latter part of May.

Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev returned to Moscow Sunday from an agricultural survey of the provinces to share in the celebration. The Communist party newspaper Pravda proclaimed "new stage in conquest of outer space" and carried comments of praise from Soviet and. Western scientists. N.

Barabbashov, director of the Kharkov State University Observatory, said the new space shot opened "broadest possibilities" for discovering what is beneath the cloud cover around Venus, often termed earth's sister planet. The Russians said a special "flight center" was tracking the rocket ship and controlling the times it radioed back to earth on 922.8 megacycles. There was no indication whether the rocket ship would hit Venus, circle around it or shoot right by into space. The "mother' satellite which carried the interplanetary station aloft started in orbit around the earth, the announcement said. It did not say how much this satellite weighed but said it was launched by an "improved multistage rocket." The heaviest previous object orbited by the Russians- or anyone -was a 7.1-ton sputnik launched a week ago Saturday.

The Russians said there was no life aboard the interplanetary station. "The main object of the probe is to check the methods of injecting a space body into an interplanetary trajectory, to check dio communications over superlong distances and the guiding of a space station, to check more exactly the size of the solar system and to carry out program of physical observations in outer space," the official announcement said. The reference to guidance indicated the space ship. might be equipped with rockets which could be used to change its course, if necessary. Slain the Katanga government.
