Author Richelson (National Security Archive) chronicles the growth of the US Air Force's Defense Support Program (DSP) satellite system, which began in 1970. This second edition is updated to cover the last 12 years of satellite development, with much additional information on the next-generation program, the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS), from the late 1990s through the present. Focus is on administrative and political factors, with technical information relegated to an appendix. The book includes a chronology, a list of satellite launches, and a bibliographic essay, along with b&w photos. It will appeal mainly to historians of science and industry professionals.
