High Resolutioncomplex: Comet Hale-Bopp, photographed by MSX-Spirit III, 1996.
MSX (“Midcourse Space Experiment”) was a satellite launched by the US Department of Defense’s Ballistic Missile Defense Organisation as a testbed for technologies that could track ICBMs from space, but also photographed several comets and asteroids. This image is from the observations of either June or October 1996, before Hale-Bopp reached perihelion.
The interrelation of space exploration and the military-industrial complex should not be underestimated.
