[b]The Dorian Files Revealed[/b] [i]The Manned Orbiting Laboratory Crew Member's Secret Mission in Space[/i] Oct. 22, 2015, 7:30 p.m. Dayton, Ohio In the 1960s, the U.S. Air Force initiated a program to carry out experiments in space by a two-man crew in a laboratory orbiting the earth for up to 60 days. The program, known as the Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL), provided a platform for a highly secret program to gain Cold War intelligence on the Soviet Union and other adversaries. The MOL crew members pioneered efforts to carry out long term missions in space. The museum will [URL=http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Upcoming/Lectures.aspx]host a panel discussion[/URL] by five individuals who trained as MOL crew members and went on to have distinguished careers in space exploration and national security. They will share their insights into the MOL program and how the program prepared them for leadership in the nation's space and national security programs. The National Reconnaissance Office will also reveal, for the first time, information about the classified elements of the program. Panelists: [list][*]Karol Bobko [*]Albert Crews [*]Bob Crippen [*]Richard Truly [*]Michael Yarymovych (MOL technical director)[/list]
