Galactic Radiation and Background
Galactic Radiation and Background (GRAB) was the first United States orbital surveillance program, comprising a series of five Naval Research Laboratory electronic surveillance and solar astronomy satellites, launched from 1960–1962. Though only two of the five satellites made it into orbit, they returned a wealth of information on Soviet air defense radar capabilities as well as useful astronomical observations of the Sun.

Six articles, 2 FA and 4 GA, that cover an important chapter of space history. The articles have been created with an eye toward commonality and mutual reference.

(Note: while SOLRAD might make a GT at some point, it is really a common name applied to several disparate series of satellites. SOLRADs 1-4B are all GRABs.) --Neopeius (talk) 01:49, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
