Vortex, previously known as Chalet, was a class of spy satellite operated by the United States during the 1980s and 1990s to collect signals intelligence (SIGINT) from high Earth orbit. The Vortex satellites were operated by the National Reconnaissance Office for the United States Air Force and listened to radio transmissions originating from Earth or space. The intercepted data is believed to have been fed into and analyzed by the National Security Agency ECHELON system.

  • Chalet (rebaptisée successivement Vortex puis Mercury est une famille de satellites militaires de renseignement d'origine électromagnétique (COMINT/ELINT/SIGINT) développée par les États-Unis et mis en œuvre à la fin années 1970 et durant la décennie 1980. Ils prennent la suite des satellites Canyon. Comme ces derniers ils sont placés sur une orbite quasi géosynchrone et ils utilisent une antenne parabolique de grande taille (38 mètres de diamètre) déployée en orbite pour intercepter les communications. Six satellites de ce type ont été placés en orbite. Ils ont été remplacés par la série des Mercury. (fr)

  • Vortex, previously known as Chalet, was a class of spy satellite operated by the United States during the 1980s and 1990s to collect signals intelligence (SIGINT) from high Earth orbit. The Vortex satellites were operated by the National Reconnaissance Office for the United States Air Force and listened to radio transmissions originating from Earth or space. The intercepted data is believed to have been fed into and analyzed by the National Security Agency ECHELON system. The satellites each had a mass of approximately 1,800 kilograms and are operated from non-stationary geosynchronous orbits. Each reportedly carried a 38-meter-diameter umbrella-like reflecting dish to collect radio signals from Earth. At least six launch attempts were made of Chalet/Vortex satellites between 1978 and 1989. The Chalet/Vortex satellites replaced the older generation of Canyon satellites, and were superseded by the larger, more capable Mercury satellites. (en)
