Talk:LACE (satellite)

(Found from Brilliant Pebbles, a short mention but a good secondary non-Navy source for the Nikha launch. Still DoD (Missile Defense Agency) though) Most sources/links below this signature will come from what I've got in my sandbox SpacePod9 (talk) 08:04, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Some info about the booms for LACE and other satellites specifically. The article claims another satellite (DODGE) launched in 1967 had booms of 46m, while LACE's were only 45.7m, however, the former number is a rounding error based on the ref this article cites, Mobley 1967 (https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/pdf/10.2514/6.1968-460), where its stated the booms were 150ft long, the same as LACE. DODGE isn't mentioned by Amato in his history, since it seems DODGE was actually developed by the Johns Hopkins APL. SpacePod9 (talk) 09:29, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
