The participants reviewed a spy satellite shoot-down operation. Using photographs and charts, Admiral Hicks and others described the February 20, 2008, destruction of a non-functioning National Reconnaissance Office satellite. The satellite, traveling at 17,000 miles per hour, was destroyed by a single tactical missile launched from the naval missile cruiser USS Lake Erie stationed in the Pacific Ocean northwest of Hawaii. Admiral Hicks and others responded to audience members' questions.

“Reviewing the Satellite Shoot-Down” was a program at the 2008 Navy League Sea-Air-Space Exposition. close
