Navy to Shoot Down Malfunctioning Satellite

A Standard Missile (SM-3) is launched from the Aegis combat system equipped Arleigh Burke class destroyer USS Decatur during a Missile Defense Agency ballistic missile flight test from the Pacific Ocean on June 22, 2007. The Navy, using this missile technology, will shoot down a malfunctioning U.S. spy satellite sometime after February 20, 2008. When the satellite enters the Earth's atmosphere, it could release hydrazine, a toxic chemical, and if exposed in a populated area could cause mass injuries. (UPI Photo/U.S. Navy)
