Launch Missile-Sleuth Satellite Aimed at Early Warning
The air force launched a secret Titan 3 mission from Cape Kennedy to place an 1800 pound satellite in a near Pacific orbit for rapid warning of long range missile strikes. Ground stations in Australia and California will test the system before a permanent post over Southeast Asia. The project aims for almost instant alerts and a 30 minute response window for U S forces. A second satellite may follow in 1971 to cover submarine launched weapons within 15 minutes.
