1963 Press Photo Mobile fighter satellite 'ride heard' - cvb56757
Mobile fighter satellite 'ride heard on their flock of
offensive satellites to protect them from possible destruction by the
enemy.
Eliminating reconnaissance or offensive satellites would be to spray a
cloud of particles into orbit in a direction opposite to that in which
an offensive satellite is moving.
Other scientist are uncertain whether we can orbit enough particles to
insure some type of contact.
Assuming that the concentration of particles can be achieved, we then
simply wait until the two run into one another.
THE OFFENSIVE satellite will be travelling at about five miles a second
and the incoming particles at this altitude must also possess the same
speed. Thus particles would inevitably close on the satellite with a
relative speed of almost 10 miles a second. Even a grain of sand
traveling 10 miles a second could damage or destroy vital equipment in
the satellite, thus pulling the teeth of the offensive satellite.
The finely divided material would move in orbital ring. Photo is dated 05-05-1963.

1968 Press Photo Lockheed's concept of "multipurpose reusable spacecraft"
This is an original press photo. Space travel - US ---- When man flies in space -- Lockheed-California Company engineers envision a two-man crew in this concept of a "multipurpose reusable spacecraft" - MRS, currently under study for the U.S. Air Force. The Burbank-based aerospace company sees manned maneuvering entry as the beginning of step by step development of reusable space systems. Technology from such spacecraft would apply to future hypersonic transports. Highly maneuverable entry craft - capable of aircraft-type landings in routine operation - present the difficult design challenge of carrying a human crew safely through the entire flight spectrum, from low landing speeds to high in-flight speeds up to 20 times the speed of sound. This latest Lockheed concept results from ten years' research and study of high-lift-to-drag ratio -- highly maneuverable -- entry vehicles. For the Air Force, MRS design studies date back four years. The craft conceived here - one of a design series - achieves the high payload-carrying capacity important to useful mission accomplishment. Rocket-powered for hypersonic flight in atmosphere and space, the design uses a turbo-jet engine for low speed maneuvering and landing. Jet fuel is carried in the tank directly behind crew quarters. Jet engine air intake duct is seen forward of tail fin, with engine directly in line behind it. The rocket engine is mounted below jet engine at .....Photo measures 10 x 8inches.
