In an attempt to prevent any possible damage or harm to civilians, The President of the United States has instructed the pentagon to shoot down and destroy a CIA spy satellite that lost power and will fall back to earth soon. This move comes because of fears that the falling satellite that was launched back in 2006 has a full load of highly toxic fuel in its tanks still and could possibly be dispersed should it strike a population center.

The Pentagon plans to engage the falling Satellite with a modified SM-3 “Standard Missile 3″ the SM-3 has achieved great success in the last few years demonstrating its ability to successfully engage ballistic missiles in the currently being fielded National Missile Defense program. The SM-3 that is planned to be used to engage the satellite has been modified so the SM-3 will recognize the Satellite as a threat and engage it.
The attempt to shoot down the satellite will take place just as it starts to hit the atmosphere to limit the amount of debris left in space and to ensure that the remainder burns up on reentry. When General James Cartwright was asked in the press meeting if the use of the modified SM-3 on the falling satellite was a indication that the SM-3 could now be used in a Satellite killing weapon role the General is stated as saying “It’s a one-time deal,”

Last year the government of china conducted a test of a missile designed to be used in a satellite killing role, they tested the missile on one of their aging weather satellites that had not yet started to leave orbit and left a large debris field in space that for a time caused concern among many countries about the potential danger the debris field posed to their countries space assets.

The attempt to shoot the falling satellite is expected to happen soon. Two other Aegis Naval ships are expect to be on standby in the area in case the first missile fails to fire or the first SM-3 fired fails to hit its target.
