Thanks for posting the link to the article on the ASAT program. A few engineers here at Lockheed in Dallas (formally LTV) look back on this development program as a career milestone and a demonstration of what can be achieved with vision and a bunch of hard work from industry and Government. Maj Gen. Pearson commented, "Last Thursday brought back some great memories of a special time. I really enjoyed the day at Homestead. We actually had a picture of my son sitting in 76-084 at age 10, so it was really special for him to fly it 22 years later with his name on it." A quick story. The flyout during captive carry testing was long and must have been fairly boring. Telemetry data indicated that the roll attitude of the missile had a couple of excursions from 0-360 degrees on several occasions. Best Regards, Larry D.
