MiTEx
The Micro-satellite Technology Experiment (MiTEx) is a microsatellite-based mission launched into geosynchronous orbit June 21, 2006 aboard a Delta II rocket. The US Air Force described the mission as a "technology demonstration" for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cape launches Delta II, MiTEx satellite )〕 MiTEx consists of three spacecraft; two inspection satellites, designated USA-187 and USA-188, and an experimental upper stage, designated USA-189.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SPACEWARN Bulletin No. 632 )〕 The two inspection satellites were initially used to inspect each other; however, they were later used to inspect DSP-23, a failed missile detection satellite, to find out why it stopped operating.〔 == Development == MiTEx was developed with funding from the Microsatellite Demonstration Science and Technology Experiment Program (MiDSTEP). Funding for MiDSTEP (and thus MiTEx) is allocated to DARPA through the "Space Programs and Technology" element of the United States Department of Defense (DoD) "Advanced Technology Development" budget item. DoD budget documents from February 2008 show costs of MiDSTEP in 2007 of US$8 million, in 2008 of $10 million, and in 2009 of $8 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RDT&E BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION SHEET (R-2 Exhibit) )〕 Dr. Owen C. Brown was the program manager for the design, integration, test, launch, and demonstration of MiTEx, while he was a program manager in the Tactical Technology Office (TTO) at DARPA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Acquiring Space Systems in an Uncertain Future )〕
