Analysis of the recovered debris led Chinese scientists to blame copper wire damage in the rocket during the second stage. [13] [15]
Chinese satellites have shown the ability to evade and monitor a US surveillance satellite, prompting experts to call for new norms as the space powers increasingly play cat-and-mouse games in ...
DRUMS (Debris Removal Unprecedented Micro-Satellite) is an experimental spacecraft that will test proximity operation near space debris. The microsatellite carries two 'mock space debris' which once deployed will be used as a target for demonstrating approach and contact.
The agency’s Space Debris Office, along with an international surveillance network, monitored and tracked the Earth-observing ERS-2 satellite throughout February to make predictions about the ...
[2] [4] [5] [6] Later, Shiyan 7 shifted to rendezvous with Shijian 7 (of unknown mission) with whom it maintained proximity from 19 to 20 August 2013 until it maneuvered into a 5 km lower orbit. [ 4 ] [ 7 ] Drawing further suspicion, around 19 October 2013, Shiyan 7 maneuvered to a 1 km higher orbit and released a previously untracked object ...
