Paige, Sr., pioneered the concept of using proven ICBM reentry technology for the recovery of reconnaissance film capsules from space. He also recognized the requirement for the space-based camera to operate on a three-axis stabilized platform to obtain clear images and the need for a heat-shield for the capsule to survive the reentry into the earth s atmosphere. Mr. Paige s efforts made camera pointing and film recovery possible, convincing leadership that a film return system was a logical follow-on to the U-2.
