Arbalest The arbalest ( also arblast ) was a late variation of the medieval European crossbow coming into use during the 12th century . A large weapon , the arbalest had a steel prod ( " bow " ) . Since an arbalest was much larger than earlier crossbow s , and because of the greater tensile strength of steel , it had a greater force . The strongest windlass - pulled arbalests could have up to 22 kN ( 5000 lbf ) of force and be accurate up to 300 m . A skilled arbalestier ( arblaster ) could loose two bolt s per minute . The term arbalest is sometimes used interchangeably with crossbow . " Arbalest " is Medieval French corruption from the Roman name " arcuballista " which was then used for crossbows , though originally used for types of artillery ; Modern French uses the word " arbalète " , which is linguistically one step further from the stem ( disappearance of the " s " phoneme in the last syllable before " t " ) . The word applies for both crossbow and arbalest ( the latter may be referred to as " heavy crossbow " , but an actual heavy crossbow may not be the same as an arbalest ) . In some cases , the word has been used to refer to the people who actually used the weapon .

Black Knight ( rocket ) Black Knight was a British launch vehicle to test and verify the design of a re - entry vehicle for the Blue Streak missile . The United Kingdom ' s first indigenous rocketry project , Black Knight was manufactured by Saunders - Roe on the Isle of Wight , had its engines tested at The Needles and was launched at Woomera in Australia . Designed in 1955 by the Royal Aircraft Establishment and Saunders - Roe , 22 vehicles were fired between 1958 and 1965 . The Gamma rocket engines were designed and built by Armstrong - Siddeley at Ansty , near Coventry . One of the men who designed the engine was C . Donald . The first two vehicles were ' proving rounds ' - that is , launches without a payload in order to prove the design of the rocket . The third firing carried a re - entry vehicle . This flight showed that the chosen design for the re - entry body was a success . Further firings with different heads showed up some unusual phenomena , and further tests under the code names " Gaslight " and " Dazzle " were carried out in conjunction with the United States . A variety of heads were flown in these tests , including a plain copper sphere and a silica sphere . Heads composed of a composite asbestos - based material known as Durestos were also flown , and later tests finalised on a cone - shaped head re - entering pointed - end first , as used on many subsequent missile RVs . All the re - entry firings took place on clear moonless nights , so that the luminous wake of the re - entry body could be observed photographically . An improved Black Knight , with the tank diameter increased from 36 inches to 54 inches , and a more powerful second stage , named Kestrel , was proposed for a further set of experiments codenamed ' Crusade ' . However , the Royal Aircraft Establishment made various studies into extending the vehicle into a satellite launcher . The Treasury refused to fund both projects , and the enlarged Black Knight was cancelled in favour of the Black Arrow satellite launcher . 25 Black Knight vehicles were built in total at a unit cost of just over £40 , 000 each . One ( BK02 ) was used for ground testing . One ( BK11 ) was fired as part of the ELDO project , to check out range facilities . 21 were fired as part of the re - entry experiments and the remaining two ( BK02 and BK22 ) are in museums in Edinburgh and Liverpool . The Black Knight BK02 rocket is on display at the Royal Museum Connect Gallery in Edinburgh , Scotland . It stands nearly 11m high and stretches up for three floors .

USA - 231 USA - 231 , formerly ORS - 1 ( Operationally Responsive Space ) is an American reconnaissance satellite which was launched in 2011 from NASA ’ s Wallops Flight Facility , Virginia by a Minotaur I launch vehicle . It is the first operational satellite of the Operationally Responsive Space Office . It is equipped with a Senior Year Electro - Optical Reconnaissance System ( SYERS ) 2A . ORS - 1 satellite is designed to provide orbital space imagery of Southwest Asia and to enhance battlespace awareness to operational field commanders . The ORS - 1 will undergo a 30 - day trial and adjustment check before the ORS Office turns over it operations to USAF ’ s 1st Space Operations Squadron at Schriever AFB , Colorado . SYERS functions . SYERS 2 is a optical and infrared camera with a 40 cm aperature and a field of view larger than 2 degree . It uses Time Delay and Integration CCD sensors to compensate for ground motion , resulting in a resolution of 1m ( NIIRS 4 ) from a nominal 300 km orbit . SYERS 2 is supplied by the Goodrich Corporation . SYERS previous version has also been used with the Lockheed U - 2 reconnaissance aircraft .
