Pegasus* Launches from Silo (*GMD Boost Vehicle version)

(ed kyle) wrote

Is this the first time that a commercial space machine
has been militarized?

No other launchers come to mind, but some commercial comsats
have been heavily used by the military. And, IIRC, the early
JUMPSEAT and CANYON SIGINT sats were based on the Hughes Intelsat-4
and Fairchild ATS-6 designs, respectively.
