MYSTERY SATELLITE MOVEMENTS FROM CHINA:-
Unexplained satellite movements in orbit, testing of
potential anti-satellite technologies and no official explanation.
Space is the ultimate “high ground” in military strategy,
so China’s provocative act obviously generated a huge amount of concern to test
its own anti-satellite missile on the defunct spy satellite USA-193 in 2008. As
the satellite’s orbit was degrading, though the official line was that USA-193
needed to be taken out due to the hazardous fuel on board, the strike was an
obvious reply to the Chinese test a year earlier.
