RAND’S “PROJECT 1947” WORLD CIRCLING SPACESHIP

MILITARY USES OF SPACE 1) Imaging and Reconnaissance Satellites 2) Communication Satellites 3) Navigation satellites (GPS) 4) Space-based weapons 5) Anti-satellites 1) Imaging and Reconnaissance Satellites 2) Communication Satellites 3) Navigation satellites (GPS) 4) Space-based weapons 5) Anti-satellites

RECONNAISSANCE SATELLITES DURING THE COLD WAR

Corona (Keyhole) achievements: Catalog of Soviet air defense and antiballistic missile sites Nuclear weapons-related facilities and submarine bases Military installations in China and Eastern Europe Images of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, and Dimona Helped NASA develop a safe means of recovering manned spacecraft Imaging systems basis for cameras carried on Lunar Orbiters ( ).

SPACE IMAGING AND THE “MISSILE GAP” 13 attempts failed; Discoverer 14 - Aug. 18, 1960 Photos of Soviet Plesetsk base: "It proved conclusively that the Soviets ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) arsenal did not number in the hundreds, as was widely feared, but rather amounted to somewhere between 25 and 50."

SATELLITES REPLACED U-2

Soviet Imaging and Reconsats Generic Cosmos series – ? Used also to monitor China, Middle East conflicts, other crisis regions Zenith – (also designated as Cosmos) – included ELINT RORSAT - Radar-equipped Ocean Reconnaissance SATellite

IMAGING SATELLITES: GREATEST “SECRETS” OF THE COLD WAR No mention in official statements for many years Highly classified in CIA, NSA, NRO, & NIMA US officials would find open sources when necessary First publication in 1981 due to security breech Later US declassification did not help stability, particularly in the Middle East

: Evolution of tacit agreement on anti-satellites

ROLE OF SATELLITE IMAGING IN STRATEGIC STABILITY AND TREATY VERIFICATION 1972 SALT/ABM TREATIES CONFIRMED PRINCIPLE OF “NON-INTERFERENCE WITH NATIONAL TECHINCAL MEANS OF VERIFICATION”
