Intelligence sources which I shall not reveal indicate that an aerospace firm, Martin Marietta, has in one of it's assembly rooms a satellite that is not intended to be launched from the Space Shuttle, and yet, has an articulateing arm. What was at the end of this arm could not be assertained, as it is covered to avoid identification from "prying eyes." Obviously, it is not intended to return anything to earth, as it cannot shield any recovered object from atmospheric burnup. Is this somekind of high stability aiming system for anti-satellite work? Anyone out there know anything about this item?
