US Lofts 2 Satellites As Sentries In Space Patrol
CAPE CANAVERAL A pair of 485 pound U S satellites blasted skyward aboard an Atlas Agena rocket to begin a five shot program to patrol for clandestine nuclear tests in space. The craft will form a two satellite system designed to detect nuclear explosions in space up to 200 million miles away, with a target of detecting events as small as 10 kilotons. The mission, part of Project Vela Hotel, aims to guard a space treaty with the Soviet Union and determine if false alarms could be triggered by cosmic rays or solar radiation. The two satellites separated and reached egg shaped orbits, about 20 miles apart, and are designed to provide staggered timing to ensure reliable monitoring.
