More than 2,000 new weapons are on drawing boards or taking shape both in the military's 83 labs and arsenals and in the countless defense projects of private industry. Among the more interesting...

One such Gravity Gradient Test Satellite (GGTS) was lofted into a 21,000-mile-high orbit in mid-June, and it is gradually but successfully stabilizing...
