Satellite Interception System Feasibility Study. Volume 1.

Abstract

This is the final report of an Antisatellite System Feasibility Study sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency under Contract SD-177. The contract performance period extended from 30 April to 31 October 1963. The study concerned the feasibility of using homing stages boosted by ICBM/IRBM launch vehicles to achieve satellite kill by non-nuclear means. The study concluded that, subject to the practical solution of the number of technical problems, the approach studied is feasible. (Author)
