Pursue as a technology demonstrator (single micro-satellite, 50 kg rods) to study hypervelocity terminal ballistics, but avoid deployment until a new space arms control framework exists. For near-term needs, hypersonic glide vehicles (e.g., China’s DF-ZF) offer similar speed without permanent orbital basing. 9. Visual Concept (Text Description) Image: A hexagonal satellite bus, radiators glowing dull red. In its center, a railgun cradle holds a single 8-meter tungsten rod, inscribed with a dagger symbol. Earth’s curvature visible below. Small thrusters on the satellite’s back fire in short pulses to counteract recoil. A detached rod streaks downward, surrounded by a plasma bow shock—looking exactly like a silver dagger falling from the heavens.
