I hope this is not totally OT... Somewhat inspired by the discussion of Lacrosse 5's habit of disappearing from time to time(*), I've started to compile a "sourcebook" of references to matters pertaining to stealth satellite development. The current version is at http://www.fas.org/spp/military/program/track/stealth.pdf for those who might be interested. (*) Based on what's been reported here, I see absolutely no reason to think L5 itself was intended to be stealthy. Its disappearing trick is probably an unintended result of some design feature that's there for a completely different purpose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
