The ASAT | F-15 Eagle Embroidered & Printed T-Shirt

On September 13, 1985, a specially modified F-15A Eagle launched an ASM-135 Air-Launched Anti-Satellite (ASAT) missile during one of the most unusual missions in the aircraft’s history. Climbing steeply over the Pacific, the F-15 released the missile at high altitude, sending it toward the Solwind P78-1 research satellite orbiting roughly 345 miles above Earth. The ASM-135 successfully intercepted and destroyed the satellite, making the F-15 one of the few aircraft ever used to engage a target in space. This shirt commemorates that remarkable Cold War test and the extraordinary capabilities of the F-15 Eagle. • 100% ring-spun cotton • Fabric weight: 6.1 oz/yd² (206.8 g/m²) • Garment-dyed • Relaxed fit • 7/8″ double-needle topstitched collar • Twill-taped neck and shoulders for extra durability • Double-needle armhole, sleeve, and bottom hems • Blank product sourced from Honduras This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you.
