"They start doing calibration maneuvers and they're very, very small maneuvers, so it's hard," said COMSPOC's Lead Jim Cooper for space situational awareness, in a Breaking Defense report. Obviously, this is the case for spy satellites, but what's there is there, and detectable to COMSPOC, which is how the videos became available to the public.
SPACE WARFARE VIDEO FREE
military already tracks objects in space, but this data is highly restricted to those deemed free of national security risks. You could call it space warfare tactics, but companies like COMSPOC that readily provide space tracking to private and public officials and governments will be part of the equation. But it opens up an entirely new field of research involving every field of science applicable to space travel.
This kind of thing is rarely seen beyond the purview of highly classified nation-vs.-nation encounters in space, but it's going to happen again, and probably become a norm in the coming years. In the video (below), the "ranges" section reveals how close the two satellites came during the incident. But the Chinese authorities could see it coming, and subsequently directed their satellite to move away. USA 271, which is part of the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSAPP), shadowed China's SJ-20 by moving in a parallel orbital trajectory. This satellite is one of the PRC's most advanced and heaviest satellites. Space-faring nations are exploring warfare tactics in orbitĪ July 2021 incident involved a space surveillance satellite developed covertly by the Air Force and Orbital Sciences called USA 271 began to close in on one of China's satellites, SJ-20. In other words, warfare tactics are going to outer space.
