Launch Vehicle
[edit]Does anyone know what the P78-1 was launched in?--Cdogsimmons (talk) 04:25, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Orbital altitude
[edit]Does anyone know how high up it was? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.243.4.11 (talk) 09:38, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
From USA_193: "P78-1, a US satellite in a 290-mile (470 km) orbit that was destroyed during a 1985 US Air Force ASM-135 ASAT test." 189.78.210.120 (talk) 07:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Debris - how much?
[edit]How much debris was generated by this ASAT strike? The 2007 Chinese anti-satellite missile test was decried for littering space; what about this test? I notice this news story quotes NASA as listing the top 10 space junk producing missions, and this is not listed as one of them. Comet Tuttle (talk) 20:49, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Overzealous description for the image
[edit]Is it REALLY necessary to clarify that the picture is that of the satellite BEFORE it's demise? Seems self explanatory to me and in this case just feels a wee bit silly Choronzon (talk) 20:55, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Gallery
[edit]Are any other images available which could be added to the gallery? One photo seems hardly sufficient. Did the satellite have a camera on board? If photos of some of the sungrazing comets could be found, I think these would be a good addition to the gallery. Erzahler (talk) 12:36, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
