CIA Declassifies Cold War Spy Satellite Rescue Photos
|
|
WIRED has unveiled a collection of previously classified photographs of a CIA mission to retrieve a fallen satellite 16,000 miles beneath the Pacific ocean:
Only July 10, 1971, America’s newest photo reconnaissance satellite, the KH-9 Hexagon, dropped a capsule loaded with film toward the Earth. The re-entry vehicle was supposed to open its parachute; an American aircraft would snatch it out of the sky in mid-descent. But the chute was never unfurled. The re-entry vehicle hit the Pacific Ocean with a force of approximately 2,600 G’s. And then it sunk down into the deep, before settling at 16,000 feet.
