Star Wars is an inevitable component of WW3. What concerns us here at Uncensored more than space combat, however, is what these weapons can do to the populations below. Nevertheless, the article below reminds us of Trump’s statement that the coming war will be “like no other”. MH
The militarization of space has become a pressing issue, as evidenced by recent activities involving Chinese satellites engaging in tactical maneuvers in low Earth orbit. The concept of “dogfighting” in space, reminiscent of iconic science fiction narratives, is now a reality that the US Space Force is closely monitoring. These developments signal a shift from space being a peaceful domain to a potential battlefield among powerful nations. This article delves into the intricacies of these maneuvers, the technological advancements that enable them, and the broader implications for international space relations.
China’s Advanced Space Capabilities
In a recent gathering at the McAleese Defense Programs Conference in Washington, Gen. Michael Guetlein, Vice Chief of Space Operations, revealed that China is actively conducting military satellite maneuvers. These operations, observed by the US Space Force, involve synchronized movements of five different objects in space, showcasing a level of control and precision described as “dogfighting.” This term refers to the complex tactics, techniques, and procedures used in on-orbit operations from one satellite to another.
The key participants in these exercises include three Shiyan-24C experimental satellites, alongside the Shijian-605 A and B spacecraft. The ability to perform such advanced in-orbit maneuvers is a testament to China’s growing expertise in space technology. Notably, similar advancements are being pursued by global entities. For instance, Japan’s Astroscale has developed a satellite capable of matching the speed of space debris, an impressive feat considering debris travels at about 18,000 mph. Dr. Samantha Lawler, an astronomer, likens this technological prowess to “collecting bullets,” underscoring the sophistication required for such operations…READ MORE: “US on high alert” – China’s satellites display unprecedented combat maneuvers in space
