Canyon (satellite) Canyon Canyon (satellite)
rdfs:comment
Canyon est une famille de satellites d'écoute électronique (SIGINT) développée par les États-Unis et mis en œuvre à la fin des années 1960 et durant la décennie 1970. Il s'agit de la première génération de satellites opérationnels chargés d'intercepter les communications militaires soviétiques (COMINT). Placés sur une orbite géosynchrone, ces satellites captent les émissions des faisceaux hertziens qui à cette époque prennent en charge une grande partie des communications moyenne et longue distance terrestres soviétiques. Les satellites sont conçus par l'agence NRO pour le compte de l'agence NSA (dédiée au renseignement d'origine électromagnétique). Ils sont fabriqués par la société Lockheed. Canyon es el nombre de una serie de siete satélites de reconocimiento de la Fuerza Aérea de Estados Unidos. Fueron los primeros grandes satélites espía de los Estados Unidos y todos fueron lanzados desde Cabo Cañaveral mediante cohetes Atlas entre el 6 de agosto de 1968 y el 23 de mayo de 1977. Los siete tenían una masa de 700 kg en el despegue y sólo uno de ellos (Canyon 4) falló debido a un problema en la primera etapa del cohete lanzador. Canyon was a series of seven United States spy satellites launched between 1968 and 1977. Also known by its program number AFP-827, the satellites were developed with the participation of the Air Force. The Canyon project is credited as being the first American satellite system tasked for COMINT. The Canyon program was succeeded by Chalet/Vortex, whose maiden voyage took place in June 1978.

dbo:abstract
Canyon est une famille de satellites d'écoute électronique (SIGINT) développée par les États-Unis et mis en œuvre à la fin des années 1960 et durant la décennie 1970. Il s'agit de la première génération de satellites opérationnels chargés d'intercepter les communications militaires soviétiques (COMINT). Placés sur une orbite géosynchrone, ces satellites captent les émissions des faisceaux hertziens qui à cette époque prennent en charge une grande partie des communications moyenne et longue distance terrestres soviétiques. Les satellites sont conçus par l'agence NRO pour le compte de l'agence NSA (dédiée au renseignement d'origine électromagnétique). Ils sont fabriqués par la société Lockheed. Sept satellites Canyon sont placés en orbite entre 1968 et 1977 par des fusées Atlas-SLV3A/Agena-D. Ils remplissent leur objectif avec succès en interceptant un volume important de communications militaires. Ils ont été remplacés par la série des Chalet. Canyon es el nombre de una serie de siete satélites de reconocimiento de la Fuerza Aérea de Estados Unidos. Fueron los primeros grandes satélites espía de los Estados Unidos y todos fueron lanzados desde Cabo Cañaveral mediante cohetes Atlas entre el 6 de agosto de 1968 y el 23 de mayo de 1977. Los siete tenían una masa de 700 kg en el despegue y sólo uno de ellos (Canyon 4) falló debido a un problema en la primera etapa del cohete lanzador. Los satélites eran situados en órbita geoestacionaria, desde donde se dedicaban a la intercepción y análisis de señales electrónicas utilizando reflectores de 10 m de diámetro. Canyon was a series of seven United States spy satellites launched between 1968 and 1977. Also known by its program number AFP-827, the satellites were developed with the participation of the Air Force. The Canyon project is credited as being the first American satellite system tasked for COMINT. The satellites each had a mass of 700 kg and were launched from Atlas/Agena D rockets into near-geosynchronous orbits. They carried large parabolic reflecting dishes, estimated at 10m in diameter, and signals were transmitted to a center in Bad Aibling, West Germany. The Canyon satellites were eventually replaced with the next generation of COMINT satellites, the Vortex/Chalet series. Unlike contemporary photo-reconnaissance satellites, Canyon was not a bus satellite integrated into the Agena stage and it separated once placed in geostationary orbit. The program is still classified. Seven Canyon satellites were launched from 1968 to 1977, all with Atlas SLV-3A (extended Atlas tanks for longer burn time) Agena D vehicles from LC-13 at Cape Canaveral rather than Vandenberg Air Force Base, due to the necessity of placing them in a geostationary orbit. The first Canyon was launched on August 6, 1968. Secrecy surrounding the satellite was tight, and the Air Force would say nothing other than that an "experimental payload" had been launched and it was the first "secret" launch conducted from the Cape since 1963. After a successful launch and orbital deployment, the satellite's mission ended disastrously when a ground controller sent an erroneous command that sent it into an unrecoverable tumble. The second Canyon was launched in April 1969, followed by the third in September 1970. Both satellites performed erratically, with their transmissions often cutting out or becoming intermittent. Despite these problems Canyons 2 and 3 returned much useful intelligence information, particularly regarding Chinese military maneuvers during the winter of 1970-71 when tensions between China and the USSR were at an all-time high, and also intelligence on North Vietnam for the 1972 Christmas Bombing campaign. The fourth Canyon, launched on December 4, 1971, never made it to orbit. The Atlas booster's sustainer engine shut down early in the launch and the booster drifted off its path, leading to a Range Safety destruct less than two minutes after liftoff. The weather on launch day was extremely wet, foggy, and overcast, thus the booster had been out of visibility when the failure happened and the Air Force did not make an announcement for three days. The failure momentarily delayed the planned launch of an Atlas-Centaur with an Intelsat satellite until the Air Force Mishap Review Board could complete their investigation and relieve the Atlas-Centaur of guilt by association. A fuel line obstruction was suspected of having blocked the flow of propellants to the sustainer gas generator, and the way was cleared for the Intelsat launch, which took place on December 20. Three more Canyons were launched in 1972, 1975, and 1977, all of which performed well and gathered considerable intelligence on Soviet activities as well as Arab communications during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Indeed, the amount of communications data returned was so voluminous that some of it took up to two years to sort through. The Air Force did not acknowledge the existence of the program at all until 1990, thirteen years after the last Canyon was launched. However, the Soviets found out about it as early as 1975 and began taking preventative measures to stop their radio communications from being tapped into, including the replacement of satellite dishes with landlines. In addition, Geoffrey Prime, a British member of the Government Communication Headquarters, had contacts with the KGB and funneled various information regarding US satellite intelligence, which may have included details on Canyon. The Canyon program was succeeded by Chalet/Vortex, whose maiden voyage took place in June 1978.
