Yea, like I said it wasn't scientific. :p If I wanted to be scientific I'd find a tape measure, but I don't know where one is and I am cba to get a boner right now (and fumbling around with a tape measure is the last thing I want to do with a boner). :stongue: |

No. The US has not been known to deploy any sort of weapons in space. If they had, Russia and now China would be raising a huge stink about it as it would violate a number of treaties.
The Soviets on the other hand were suspected of having launched a number of "interceptor" satellites that were on orbits that would take them near the orbits of our SIGINT and spy satellites. These orbits could have been changed slightly and used to intercept these satellites during a time of war.
Reagan had plans to deploy X-ray pumped lasers in space, which essentially would have been hydrogen bombs on satellites. Of course the whole SDI would have violated a number of treaties if it was fully deployed. :p
The militarization of space, at least of placing weapons in space was highly controversial during the late 60s and 70s. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 forbid the deployment of nuclear weapons in space, mainly as a result of fears that countries would use Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems. These FOBS would be an ICBM that would place the bus of the missile (or the warhead if not a MIRV) in an orbit that would loop it around the south pole, or technically from any other direction and allow it to hit targets behind the commonly established early warning radars that pointed towards the north pole (where missile strikes would come from, being the shortest distance from Russia to the US).
The treaty did not ban actual weapons systems themselves, just the use of them and the Soviets built a number of FOBS capable ICBMs and tested a number of them with dummy warheads (which did not violate the treaty).
A number of ASAT programs have been run in the US, China, and Russia. The US and China have both done live tests in the last 5 years, intercepting satellites in LEO. |
