The satellite inspector was conceptually similar,īut only took photos of its target. That passed within range of its launch site on Johnston Island in the Pacific Ocean. It was designed to fly a sub-orbital trajectory to intercept and destroy Soviet satellites (General Electric) Mark II re-entry vehicle. The ASAT was of the direct-ascent type, which employed a Thor IRBM, that carried a nuclear warhead within its blunt-nosed G.E. "The Program 437AP satellite inspector was an alternate payload of the mid-1960's Program 437 ASAT (anti-satellite) weapon system. Program 437AP: A Sub-orbital Corona-Derived Satellite Inspector

The following MP4 animations have a delayed start of 8 to 10 seconds and run time is anywhere between 30 seconds to over a minute. We ask that proper credit is given if any of these images or derivatives thereof are used elsewhere. These images are made freely available here as a tribute to our friend, Joel Carpenter, and to his interests and capabilities. These have been converted to MPEG-4 digital multimedia files to preserve the animated images and to maximize their online availability to the widest possible audience.

This archive contains the surviving drawings Joel created using high quality 3D CAD/design software. Joel's magnificent drawings are better than the original spacecraft design drawings done by the major contractors. This involved - required - a great deal of effort and research in many sources including correspondence with and trips to various libraries and archives in addition to online research. It was Joel's ambition to achieve the highest possible degree of accuracy and completeness in every drawing. Simply stated, Joel's goal was to accurately image every major space system. This archive of 102 detailed, animated images of space hardware contains the remaining results of a personal project to which Joel had committed a great deal of time and effort - a project in which he was engaged at the time of his passing.
