Satellite Killer Revisited
April 28th, 2008 by ACTivist
I am only going to give you this heads-up one time. For those of us with ADD, ADHD and Altzeimers-too bad. Staple a post-it to your forehead and look in the mirror often! What? Can’t read backwards either? I have no other suggestions for you.
It seems that decisions made elsewhere and from middle-managment are about to give us a complete scenerio of how to kill a satellite; from beginning to end. The interviews are still being made as I type this. The program should include those people that made the decision, those people that implemented the decision, and those people that revamped everything to make it workable. If we get really lucky (and I believe we will), there will be nose camera footage of the missle to target up to the last few seconds before impact. Some things just have to remain classified as it should be. Oh, stop crying and whinning. If you want to see what missle impacts look like, google footage for the first Gulf War.
All this should come about around mid-June timeframe. It is developed and brought to you by the Discovery Channel BUT will air on the Military Channel. Get those VCR’s (or TiVO’s) ready. Ought to be a good time!

Not so much HOW to do it, but WHAT must be done. Satellites are easy — no countermeasures, no debris field, etc. I doubt they will go into the HOW of tracking, targeting, and guidance.

That basically is the essence of the program. To show how uncompatable the missles STANDARD role is to the reworked task role. Should be interesting have far they will take us.

A Russian co-worker of mine once described to me how he worked on the Soviet satellite-killer system. According to him, the Soviets developed a satellite “bomb” that contained essentially hundreds to thousands of heavy steel ball bearings. According to him, the system was partially deployed, and there are a number of these “killer satellites” in orbit today, waiting for the command to destroy anything around them.
Dunno if he was pulling my chain or not, but it made for an interesting afternoon engineering conversation. I have no idea how effective something like that would be, though I suppose if one were trying to take out *all* satellite communication, nothing would beat a well-placed EMP…

Sorry for the lockout, Dan and General. The spam filter did not like something. You should both be good to go now.
