ARMY WILL KEEP TRYING SATELLITE LASER TEST From: Reuters Date: October 9, 1997 Subject: Army will keep trying satellite laser test WASHINGTON (Reuter) - The U.S. military, foiled by recent cloudy weather, said Thursday it would continue attempting to test fire a powerful ground-based laser at an aging Air Force satellite orbiting the earth. Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon said Defense Secretary William Cohen had asked the Army to continue to look for opportunities to test the laser before the target satellite was placed in a new orbit on October 23 to save battery power. Several attempts to fire two short but intense beams of light at the satellite from the "Miracl" laser based at White Sands, New Mexico, were postponed last week because of cloudy weather. Cohen on October 2 ordered the test of the Mid-Infra-Red Advanced Chemical Laser (Miracl) to try to measure the vulnerability of U.S. satellite systems to laser attack.
