No idea.
Whatever it is, satellite, re-entry vehicle, warhead…appears to be in transmit mode…toward the earth’s horizon, or maybe just earth in general, and at what I’m assuming to be the sun, and not a nuclear test/detonation in earth orbit.
The penciled description on the verso, either “Aiming/Airwing(?) Devices 3-9” (or something else) is of no assistance, other than this possibly being figure 3-9 in a publication/document. And I know I’m reaching. “Space Missiles” of course means nothing, as it was probably a ‘go-to’ for most anything depicting something pointy in space during this time.
What really matters is that it’s by John Gorsuch.
