Nukes In Space: The Rainbow Bombs

Package During the heart of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union launched and detonated a combined total of over 20 thermonuclear weapons in the upper atmosphere and near space region of earth.

Almost unknown to the public, much of the information on theses tests has been kept secret for over 35 years until recently, when newly declassified test footage and secret government documents obtained from both countries reveals the inside story of the high altitude testing program of the nuclear superpowers.
