SBMS-1

The SBMS-1 'Scorpion-X' (Space-Based Missile System, Model 1) is a missile capapble of delivering 100+ Megaton loads of nuclear weapons. It is based on a satellite, and due to the fact that it will be mostly free-falling to earth, can be extremely large.

Controversy

Many special interest groups have, on several occasions, have voiced their opinions against having nuclear weaponry in space. Other civil rights groups have stated that having such a powerful warhead that not only destroys objects, but spreads radioactive material over a large area is completely wrong. Opinions from such groups are often ignored.

Development

The missile took several years to complete, and was based upon the Russian UR-500 "Proton" Missile. The program started in September 1998 and ended in October 2006.

Early Years (1998-2000)

In the early years of the missile's development, many things about the missile were different. It had solid rocket boosters and a smaller warhead (~95 Megatons). The government decided that it just was not powerful enough, and ordered several revisions.

Mid Years (2001-2004)

The first revision to take place was the changing of the engines from Solid to Liquid. After a suitable engine was built, the warhead was made more powerful, and salted. Yet still, the government was not happy. Several more revisions were ordered.

Late Years (2005-2006)

In the last years of the deveolpment program, GPS guidance systems had become increasingly accurate. The addition of the EDGE GPS System made the weapon nearly complete. The only thing left was the choosing of a satellite system. A special satellite, the MLS-5 Satellite was chosen and built. It was launched in June 2006, and 4 missiles were loaded on the satellite October 2006. The system is now fully operational.
