Monopoly is over. Chinese satellites occupying orbit, worry Pentagon

In the past two years, it has sent more than 400 satellites into orbit, less than half of them to observe the sun on Earth, said Gagnon at the Mitchell Institute for Aeronautics and Space Studies. Since 2015, the number of new companies on the market has increased by 550 percent.

it could use the information obtained by its satellites in a conflict with the USA, which could break out in the event of its flow to Taiwan. It would then be able, for example, to easily monitor the movement of American forces to the Pacific Ocean.

They will provide clues and warnings of nurses, marines, and airmen who will try to slip to the rear if instructed to defend freedom. Now, in a way that they don’t want to talk about in America, they will be surrounded by rapidly spreading signs of deployment of weapons, the American official warned.

According to Gagnon, the architecture of the Russian satellites shows their military significance. They are not designed for efficiency and economy, but to be able to go to the wolf and hit the wolf. Their main goal is to inform the soldiers about where to open fire, he added.

The People’s Liberation Army has made rapid progress in the world in a way that few people can appreciate, Gagnon revealed. I tried to think about historical analogies, about such rapid growth. I have never seen a building so fast, he said, as if he had been attacked by a wolf from another world. An adversary arming so quickly is very worrying.

According to Gagnon, he intended to use his satellite station around the world in the same way as the US, for him it is an integral part of their military operations. Now this monopoly is over.

launched Ludi Tance-4 satellite into geosynchronous orbit last year. The advantage of satellites on these 35,780-kilometer tracks is that they provide full coverage and images, even through clouds and at certain hours. Beijing claims that the device is certainly of a civilian nature and is intended for surveillance outside sensitive areas in the context of environmental protection, agriculture and prevention of major disasters.

The USA does not do that. It is designed for the western Pacific observatory, even though it claims to be agricultural. They don’t know what they’re talking about, Gagnon pointed out.

Even an American official warned that decisions are now being made in the race for world domination. In April, a member of the US Space Command, Stephen Whiring, said that space is moving at a breathtaking speed. Over the past six years, they have tripled the number of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance ships on both bases and have used their global capabilities to improve the lethality, accuracy and reach of their ground forces.

We are at a pivotal moment in history, declared Troy Meink, deputy editor-in-chief of the National Research Council, just running the American pioneer second. For the first time in decades, the United States is arguably the leader in space and space technology. Our competitors are actively looking for ways to compromise our capabilities, and we see it every day.
