Описание к видео President Kennedy visits Sandia Labs, 1962

On Dec. 7, 1962, President John F. Kennedy along with Sen. Clinton P. Anderson and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson visited Sandia Labs in Albuquerque, N.M. as part of a tour of the nation's major defense, space and nuclear facilities.

At Sandia, the president had a closed-door briefing and up-close look at the Vela satellite. Developed by Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratory, it was created to help verify compliance with the Limited Test Ban Treaty -- which the president would sign the following year -- by detecting nuclear detonations from space.
