Broken Satellite Will Be Shot Down
U.S. President George W. Bush has ordered his officials to try and shoot down the disable spy satellite using a Navy missile.
Deputy National Security Adviser James Jeffrey, briefing reporters at the Pentagon, did not say when the attempted intercept would be conducted, but the satellite is expected to hit Earth during the first week of March.
Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the SM-3 will intercept the satellite before it re-enters the atmosphere. The "window of opportunity" will open in the next three or four days and last for seven or eight days.
