Soviet Union announced a new series of rocket tests believed designed to perfect a sea-landing system for Russian astronauts in preparation for a resumption of manned space flights. Soviet news agency, Tass, said the test of "carrier rockets" would begin Sept. 3. It warned all ships and planes to stay clear of two 80-mile-wide "bulls' eyes" in the Pacific Ocean, one about 900 miles northeast and one 300 miles northeast of Midway Island, from noon until midnight every day through Oct. 30.
