From Atlas' Space Squadron #2 (1951)...
...here's the cover-featured tale which was a rarity for Atlas Comics...a text story!
We don't know who the scripter is for the text feature from Atlas' Space Squadron #2 (1951), but the artist is Werner Roth who became the primary Jet Dixon artist as of this issue, replacing George Tuska.
Roth is best-known as the penciler (after Jack Kirby) of most of the early (1965-1969) run of Marvel's X-Men!

Oddly, the feature was reprinted a couple of years later in Atlas' Marvel Tales #116 (1953)...when Jet Dixon's replacement series, Speed Carter: SpaceMan, was being published!
Since the Marvel Tales cover wasn't a reprint of the earlier Space Squadron cover (or even related to the story), the title was changed, and the insert art replaced by a generic spaceship.
But the character names remained the same!
Note: This is the only Jet Dixon story to ever be reprinted!
