From a New York Times article, around 9/2/97, via skygypsy@vegasnet.net and MC.... Military Is Hoping to Test-Fire Laser Against Satellite By WILLIAM J. BROAD The developers of the nation's most powerful military laser are seeking permission to fire the laser's beam into space at a $60 million Air Force satellite in what military officials say would be the first test of its kind. The test, planned for September, would be a major step toward perfecting a weapon that could demolish satellites and other spacecraft, an ability that the Pentagon regards as crucial in time of war. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Sorry I can't print it all. I've got to limit copyrighted material on the server.] The article says the project is based at White Sands and sends a beam about 6 feet wide. Missiles have already been shot down. The laser is known as Miracl, for Mid-infrared Advanced Chemical Laser.
