ADDITION TO WAYNE BALDWIN’S BIO

MILITARTY TECHNICAL TRAINING:sxd3we
1. Now unclassified after 40 plus years of secrecy, I can discuss a "black" Intelligence project which I was assigned call Project GRAB. This was the first United States reconnaissance satellite system launched to monitor Soviet Union Cold War activities deep within the USSR. The program was authorized by President Eisenhower the day after an American U-2 aircraft was shot down over Russia piloted by Frances Gary Powers. In the fall of 1998 the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in coordination with the Defense Department, National Security Agency (NSA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) declassified our work and honored the remaining 100 persons working this project. We were awarded the Naval Space Pioneers medallion by the CIA which was specially coined for this occasion. Sadly, there were only 35 of the original members still alive to receive the award. My assignment to this project was in the early 1960s in Japan.
