KH-10 DORIAN 'MOL' (Manned Orbital Laboratory)

An ambitious Air Force project to have a manned reconnaissance platform in outer-space. The MOL was a cylinder with roughly 34 cubic yards of work space. A broad array of tasks were assigned to the MOL but ELINT and reconnaissance duties were certainly intended to be paramount. The project was finally axed in 1969 having consumed over a billion dollars in development.

...Do you think the it's possible that it's exist but hold top secret ?

Nans.

BTW, you just dug up a thread that the last post was 11 years ago, you probably could have just made a new thread
