Posted: August 15, 2000

What is believed to be a Lacrosse radar imaging spy satellite is seen in a Lockheed Martin clean room in 1998. It is possible the spacecraft in this movie is the very Lacrosse being launched by the upcoming Titan 4B rocket. The video was released from the National Reconnaissance Office without a detailed description of the satellite's identity. Source video: NRO (157k, 19sec QuickTime file).
