Bull**** and proof that you have never been involved in a Prime Contractor relationship with the miliary. Stupid git. That you are. I've since moved on to guitars, turbojets, alternative energy, and Victory gardens. I've had a long and extensive career in the lifeguard and swimming pool industry. I remember convincing the chairman of the bank and head of the Georgia Republican party to fly to Washington, D.C. and within 3 days bring me a Small Business Admin. check for 350 thousand dollars. But what makes me a creative genius when I founded a school of the arts in my name. http://gayincarolina.jottit.com/my_main_squeeze Mark IV - Sold Military Secrets to the Military |

So, Jim -- what's the mission of this thing? -- Jay Honeck That's a leading question - which you will not find answered definitively. The vessel has however changed orbit several times, so exercising the ready reconnaissance mode is a fair bet. Another likely objective was to find how long it was reasonable to expect a mission to last. There was a suggestion of "up to nine months" at one point. Then there's the "check out the other guys' satellites." (Yep, the military DOES watch the movies - including Bond, James Bond, and the satellite that swallows satellites.) Last but not least, porting a high power laser weapon into orbit for trials. Brian W |
