Welcome To ISRO :: Satellites :: Geostationary

Good for India. These are the kind of satellite that is waiting or the new rocket? Isn't it.

I'll leave this thread and let you guys shoot down each other's satellites.

a new version of star war? another step towards peaceful rising of China?
That remembers me to the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) proposed by the former U.S. President Ronald Reagan (1983).

Considering how ahead Americans are and Satellites are critical for Information superiority , Chinese have little choice

 

[itaskol]

OMG, why should we attack india satellite????

 

[ahfatzia]

No one is going to shoot down anyone's satellites but with a belligerent one around threatening to go to war with anything that moves, perhaps, an extra deterrence or two can wipe that menacing smile of its face.

Breaking News!


U.S. Intelligence: China to conduct test of more powerful anti-satellite weapon (DN-2) capable of hitting GPS, spy satellites, strategic satellites in high-earth orbit.

The missile is described by intelligence agencies as a high-earth orbit interceptor designed to destroy satellites by ramming them at high speeds. The intelligence reports called the new missile a strategically significant counterspace weapon, said the officials familiar with the reports.

China’s last ASAT test in 2007 destroyed a low-earth orbit weather satellite about 558 miles in space, causing an orbiting debris field of tens of thousands of pieces of metal.


U.S. Global Positioning System satellites, used for both navigation and precision missile guidance, are located in medium-earth orbit, or about 12,000 miles, and thus would be vulnerable to the new DN-2.

U.S. Intelligence: China to conduct test of more powerful anti-satellite weapon capable of hitting GPS, spy satellites

U.S. lagging in counterspace. “DN-2 ASATs derived from the KT-2 and KT-2A space launch vehicles have the potential to reach high earth orbits used by many strategic U.S. surveillance, communication, and navigation satellites”


Will Chinese's advanced New Weapon DN-2 attack India Satellites too?

Why is this in Indian section when India is not mentioned in the article?

You should post your question to the Americans.

 

[KRAIT]

In the event of war, all that will be negligible collateral damage.

I am talking about test conducted and the debris that will be created. Not talking of war.
