Manned Orbiting LaboratoryThe US Air Force's Manned Orbiting Laborartory (MOL) was conceived in the early 1960s as a way to exploit space for military purposes. The goal was to develop a space station manned by two to four astronauts. The station would provide reconnaissance from orbit. The MOL project eas approved by President Johnson in 1965 and cancelled in 1969 as unmanned satellites became more capable.References: |
