How China Loses the Coming Space War (Pt. 3)

Posted by Matt in January 10th, 2008

This is part three of MIT researcher Geoffrey Forden’s look at the possibilities of an all-out Chinese assault on American satellites. Click for parts one and two.

If China was to attack the strategically important deep-space satellites it would give the United States at least an indication of the impending attack two or more weeks prior to launch as it assembled its Long March rockets on their launch pads. There could be few other reasons for China to assemble so many rockets at its satellite launch centers for near-simultaneous launches. The US could, if it wished to initiate hostilities, destroy the rockets before they were launched using either stealth bombers or cruise missiles. Alternatively, it could wait and use its National Missile Defense interceptors—which have an inherent ASAT capability—to shoot down the first group of deep space ASATs as they wait for D-day in their parking orbit.

China launches first data relay satellite
BEIJING, April 25 -- China lauched the country's first data relay satellite "Tianlian I" Friday night.   The satellite was launched on a Long March-3C carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province at 11:35 p.m. (Beijing Time).   The satellite will not go into function though untill the Shenzhou VII mission scheduled for the second half of 2008.   Developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the satellite is the country's first ever data relay satellite.   It will increase the time Shenzhou VII spaceship in communication with the ground, and improve the amount of data that can be transferred, according to Zhang Jianqi, top official with China's space programs.   "The Yuanwang space tracking...

China Launches New Communications Satellite
A Chinese Long March 3B rocket successfully placed the Chinasat-9 direct-broadcast television satellite into geostationary transfer orbit June 9 - a launch that caused public-relations discomfort for both Chinese authorities and satellite builder Thales Alenia Space, for different reasons. Chinasat 9, a Spacebus 4000 satellite platform, is expected to operate for 15 years at 92.2 degrees east longitude. Chinese government authorities have been upset with the French government in recent weeks following a demonstration-marred passage of the Olympic flame through Paris in April and the near-simultaneous decision by the Paris city council to make the Dalai Lama an honorary citizen - an act that the Chinese Foreign Ministry termed "a grave provocation." For that reason, industry officials...

China launches disaster monitoring satellites
China launched two satellites to monitor the environment and natural disasters on Saturday. The satellites are the first of their kind put into space by China. They can closely track natural disasters, and provide quick assessments of damage to guide rescue and reconstruction work. China used satellite images to help assess damage to infrastructure after the massive Wenchuan earthquake in May.

China launches 2nd Olympic weather satellite
TAIYUAN, May 27 -- China launched a second Olympic weather forecasting satellite, the Fengyun-3 (FY-3), Tuesday morning. The satellite was launched on a Long March-4C carrier rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in northern Shanxi Province at 11:02 a.m. (Beijing Time). It entered the preset orbit 27 minutes later. Gao Huoshan, general director of the FY-3 research team, said the satellite would send back images with the highest spatial resolution of 250 meters and its temperature sensitivity would reach 0.1 degree Fahrenheit. Both indices were close to the most advanced level of similar satellites in the world. The highest spatial resolution of existing satellites in China had been 1.1 kilometers, according to Gao. "The 250-m resolution images will...

China launches 2nd Olympic weather satellite
China successfully launched its Fengyun three Meteorological Satellite, its second Olympic weather satellite, at the Launching Center in Taiyuan this morning. It will be put to use during the Beijing Olympic Games to help predict the weather. The Fengyun three series of satellites is China's second generation of Polar-Orbiting Meteorological Satellites. The FY-3 satellites are able to provide global sounding of 3-dimensional thermal structures of the atmosphere. Their global imaging technology also supports short-range weather forecasting and real-time monitoring of meteorological or hydrological disasters. And they can also provide the necessary data to derive important geophysical parameters and support researchers on global and climate change. A China Meteorological Administration...

China to Launch 1st Space Walk Mission on Thursday
China will launch its third manned spacecraft Shenzhou-7 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province in the northwest on Thursday, a spokesperson with China's manned space program said on Wednesday. The spacecraft, carrying astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng, was to blast off between 9:07 p.m. and 10:27 p.m. (Beijing Time), said Wang Zhaoyao. One of the major tasks of the mission would be extravehicular activity (EVA), or known as space walk, the first of its kind attempted by Chinese astronauts, Wang said. The success of the task will mark a remarkable step in space exploration for China, whose long-term target is to eventually set up a space station. Other tasks included the release of a small monitoring satellite and trials of satellite data relay, said...

IFJ: Restore NTD's China Broadcast
CHEN: We have an update on the situation with NTD's broadcast into Mainland China. Over two months ago, NTD's satellite broadcast was cut off by our satellite provider Eutelsat, because of what they claimed were technical difficulties. Well, now the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) says those so-called "technical difficulties" are looking, "increasingly bogus." In an August 20th press release, IFJ General Secretary Aiden White said this: "The likelihood is that official Chinese pressure has led to the exclusion of...NTDTV from access to the satellite. It's time to end this absurd posturing and let NTDTV get back on the air." The Chinese regime has been trying to shut down NTD since it was founded in 2001. NTD's satellite broadcasts have provided the only uncensored TV...

China Sparks New Arms Race? Chinese Missile Kills Satellite
Center for American Progress Senior Vice President for National Security Joseph Cirincione joined Bill Hemmer of Fox News to discuss the fallout from Chinese missile tests that successfully destroyed an orbiting satellite and the implications that it could spark a new arms race in space. Pick up a copy of Joe's new book BOMB SCARE. It's the definitive history of nuclear weapons and the threats they pose today from rogue nations and terror groups. What if our most powerful weapons were ideas? www.AMERICANPROGRESS.org
