American anti -pollution "Chinese satellite threat space safety"

The details of the US "Space News" website recently disclosed the details of "Sino -US satellite space confrontation" attracted the attention of the outside world. Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" quoted the US media reports that on December 23, 2021, China used the Long March 7 to change the Rockets at the Launaries in Wenchang, Hainan, and the test No. 12 satellite 01 stars and 02 stars were successfully sent to the scheduled track shortly after the scheduled track. The American space surveillance satellite "US 270" is close to the two Chinese satellites.

However, a dramatic scene happened. The simulation video released by the commercial company COMSPOC, which provides space -oriented sensing service, shows that when the "US 270" satellite is close to the Test No. 12 Satellite 01 Star and 02 Star, two Chinese satellites are used to avoid tracking. Satellite 02 stars also entered the Rizhao District, and in turn "look straight" to try to "peep" its "American 270" satellite.

Dan Ortrog, the comprehensive operation and research director of Comspoc, said, "Obviously, as the US satellites approach, Chinese satellites are escaping and evading. This shows that other countries have obtained the so -called 'anti -space' capabilities. It is taking action to avoid exposing the ability or activity of your satellite. "

This is not the first time the US media has disclosed that the US satellite is close to monitoring the Chinese satellite incident. In October 2021, the US "Defense Express" also reported a event allegedly occurred in the Sino -US space that occurred in July of that year. The report said that the space surveillance satellite "American 271" jointly developed by the US Air Force and the US Rail Science Company tried to approach China with the heaviest and most advanced satellite practice-20 satellite. "American 271" and Practice-20 satellites parallel "accompanied", but then China discovered an attempt to American satellites and quickly removed the practice-20 satellite.

The American "Space News" website quoted space experts as saying that the phenomenon of "cat and rat games" staged on the earth's static track is more frequent than ever. Since the 1990s, US military satellites have been closely monitoring the earth's static track. "In the past few years, Russia and China have also followed the same action."

Ironically, the US media obviously said that the United States satellites actively approached Chinese satellites, but the technical consultant of the US Security World Foundation and the former U.S. Air Force rail analyst Brian Werton "hit a rake" in an interview with the media. He said that the United States is very worried that other countries have the ability to discover the US monitoring satellites and have the ability to protect their own satellites. "The ambiguity of these actions and intensive tensions may lead to certain conflicts, mistakes or misunderstandings."

Open the veil of "high -track inspection satellite system" in the United States

According to US media reports, the "US 270" and "American 271" satellites that are close to Chinese satellites are coming from a high -orbital inspection satellite system called the "Earth Synchronous Rail Space Situment Performance Plan". "The information about the US government space surveillance project is rarely known by the outside world. Those aerospace enthusiasts who track the US military satellites through the near -land orbit through civil facilities. American spy satellite on the static track. "

It was not until 2014 that the U.S. military began to recognize the existence of the "Earth Synchronous Rail Space Situment Performance Program" satellite. In 2015, John Hematt, then commander of the U.S. Air Force Space Command, stated that the decryption of the "Synchronous Rail Space Situment Performance Plan for the Earth" was to show the world that the U.S. military is monitoring everything that happened on the track. Brian Widon further said, "You can imagine all the capabilities that we use our intelligence collection, surveillance, and reconnaissance that we have to observe the earth on the satellite to monitor other satellites."

An anonymous China Aerospace expert told a reporter from the Global Times on the 29th that the US media reported that the "Earth Synchronous Rail Space Situment Performance Plan" series of satellites were developed by the US Rail ATK Company, which was responsible for monitoring Chinese satellites. At present, 4 satellites have been launched to monitor the height of the earth's static track and its resident space targets. The photoelectric sensor carried by the satellite is dedicated to space surveillance and collects information about specific target satellites.

"Because the earth's static orbit has a unique rail resource advantage, countries have deployed many strategic satellites such as communication, navigation, data relay, missile early warning, and electronic reconnaissance on this track." The series of satellites in the "Scenic Plan" series of satellites are usually on the orbit slightly lower or slightly higher or slightly higher than the earth's static orbit. The relative drift with the earth's static orbit target can achieve the purpose of inspection and detection of the track. The series of satellite tracks are very flexible. According to the observation needs of key targets, effective observations are implemented by frequent orbit changes, and tasks of imaging the orbit target can be completed. "In addition, according to the data released abroad, it can be seen that the series of satellites tend to approach the communication satellite in the communication of the communication satellites in the" Earth Synchronous Rail Space Situment Performance Program '" It is 88%. Therefore, it can be judged that this series of satellites may have electromagnetic spectrum signal detection capabilities, and can obtain the signal frequency of the relay satellite in the communication. "

In addition to the "Earth Synchronous Rail Space Situment Performance Plan", the U.S. military has also carried out a number of plans to conduct monitoring, interference, and even capture of other countries such as satellites. Aerospace expert Huang Zhicheng revealed in an interview with the Global Times reporter on the 29th that in recent years, the United States has carried out "rail express", "Phoenix Plan", "Eagle" satellite, "Tatera" and other related research projects to monitor other countries in real time to monitor other countries in other countries. satellite. The intention of China is becoming increasingly obvious

Although the U.S. military satellites have continuously made a threat to Chinese satellites' approach surveillance, in the US media reports, relevant U.S. military personnel claimed that China -related space activities were "threatened on the security of the United States."

In March of this year, James Dikinson, commander of the United States Space Command, said at the Senate Military Commission that two Chinese practical series satellites have mechanical arm function and may be used in space to grasp and close satellites in other countries.

In an report in the US "Defense Express" in October 2021, Jim Cooper, an expert in the field of space in the United States, also declared that the response measures of "Chinese spy satellites avoiding American spy satellites" showed that China has extremely high -precision tracking and accurate tracking and accurate tracking and The ability to manipulate satellites may be used for "evil or threats."

Regarding the discussion of the US media "thief calling the thief", Chinese experts listed related data that related data emphasized that related space spy behaviors in the United States have greatly threatened the spatial security of other countries in my country.

The above -mentioned anonymous Chinese aerospace experts introduced that in August 2020, the American Space Army listed heaven as one of the core capabilities of the US military sky rights, and clearly clarified the heavens from the three dimensions including physical domain, network domain and cognitive domain. The scope of domain perception to further enhance the strategic significance of critical track.

Spatial monitoring data from Russia shows that since 2014, the "Earth Synchronous Rail Space Situment Performance Plan" series of satellites have been mobilized by hundreds of maneuverability since 2014, and more than a dozen operating satellites on the earth's static track have been closely available. Close. In 2016, the satellite of the "Earth Synchronous Rail Space Situment Project" was close to China ’s communication technology No. 1 test satellite. In 2017, the Paksat-1R communication satellite developed by China and Pakistan and Nigcomsat, which was launched by China for Nigeria, -1R communication satellite. This kind of space danger of American spy satellites approaching the behavior that has greatly threatened the spacecraft in China and many other countries.

At the same time, it can be seen that the country of satellites that are abnormal in the United States can see that the US ‘Earth Synchronous Rail Space Temporary Performance Plan” series satellite shows a strong “interest” for China's earth synchronous orbit satellite. In addition to conducting the "close reconnaissance" testing activities of the US satellites, the number of times the US satellite "gets close to reconnaissance" Chinese satellites is the largest, accounting for about 19%of the total number of national satellites in "nearby reconnaissance", and even higher than Russia than Russia Essence The expert said, "In order to ensure its own space advantages, the ability to create the world and the ability to monitor other countries in real time can really pose a huge threat to space security."

Huang Zhicheng also emphasized that the US media's active defense and active dodge behavior of Chinese media should be condemned by peace -like people around the world. "At the same time, the surveillance behavior of Chinese satellites broke out by the US media is also reminding着 着 着 着 着 is a new field for benefiting humans, and it is also a new battlefield that is moving towards militaryization and weapons.
