  • Satellite Scoreboard
    AIR FORCE/SPACE DIGEST ALMANAC FEATURE . SATELLITE SCOREBOARD As of Am FORCE/SPACE DIGEST'S mid-March cutoff date for entries in this year's "Satellite Scoreboard," there were more space shots on the record than anyone could possibly have forecast just a few years ago, and we have attempted to set down all significant material on every shot that has been publicly announced. Unfortunately, our list this year is in some ways less complete than last year's because security regulations have shut off almost all data on military space shots beyond simple announcements that launches have been made. Barring changes in classification policies, this shortcoming will continue to obtain—creating an irony whereby as more hardware enters space, the less complete becomes the compendium. Information on Soviet shots, of course, is always minimal. Against this background, we have set down below and on the pages that follow the highlights of all data pres- ently available on US and Soviet space achievements. We are including, this year for the first time, entries on a number of suborbital and space-probe shots. Much of this information is based on NASA Historical Report No. 8, issued by the Office of Educational Programs and Services, Hq. NASA, Washington, D. C., published in January 1963, and for which quarterly supplements will be available. Another valuable source is the STL Space Log, published quarterly by the Office of Scientific and Engineering Relations, Space Technology Laboratories, Inc., Redondo Beach, Calif. In the Ara FORCE/ SPACE DIGEST listing which follows, these abbreviations have been used for launch locations: AMR for Atlantic Missile Range (Cape Canaveral); VAFB for Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.; PA for Point Arguello, Calif.

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) , you are requesting "a copy of the Intellipedia entry for ... CORONA." Your request has been processed in accordance with the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended. NSA provided to us nineteen (19) pages responsive to your request. These pages are being released to you in part. Material redacted is denied pursuant to FOIA exemption (b) (3) , specifically Section 6 , Public Law 86-36 (50 U.S.C 3605, formerly 50 U.S.C. 402 note); and (b) (6) , which applies to information which, if released, would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of individuals. The FOIA authorizes federal agencies to assess fees for record services. Based upon the information provided, you have been placed in the "other" category of requesters, which means you are responsible for the cost of search time exceeding two hours ($44.00/hour) and reproduction fees (.15 per page) exceeding 100 pages.
