The Galactic Radiation and Background (GRAB) series of intelligence satellites were operated by the  U.S. Naval Research Laboratory shortly after the Cold War U-2 Crisis of 1960. The satellites carried two sets of instruments--an unclassified experiment (called Solrad) and a then-classified payload to collect electronic intelligence (ELINT) (called Tattletale). Of five attempted launches, two missions were successful. The program is also known by the later codeword Canes.
