Secret Chinese development finds military application
China has discovered a promising space development that could be used for military purposes.
A Chinese project similar to a US reusable device could be used as an anti-satellite weapon.
In June 2024, the spacecraft, which had completed its third mission, was observed to release an object, Reuters writes.
The object moved several kilometers away from the launch vehicle and then, maneuvering, landed at a secret military airfield.
China has kept the development secret, so experts and the media can only theorize.
Experts suggest that Chinese engineers have created a device that is capable of thoroughly studying enemy objects and disabling them by creating interference. This primarily concerns satellite systems.
Experts note that several countries are working on creating similar devices.
At the same time, such an object also has non-military applications. For example, the device can be used to refuel satellites.
