US military leaders are worried that China might attack the moon as part of the growing competition in space. Brigadier General Anthony Mastalir, who works in the Space Force’s Indo-Pacific division, is concerned that China might break space agreements and use space for hostile actions. He pointed out two main areas of concern: areas beyond where most satellites orbit, called "xGEO," and the space between Earth and the Moon, known as cislunar space. Since there are many US military and other satellites in space, there's a real worry that they could be targeted in an attack. Mastalir wondered if there are ways enemies could attack that we haven't thought about yet from a military standpoint. #China #usa #moon #usmilitary #satellites #space

https://lnkd.in/gC3MtQ-5 "Chinese control of the moon would confer control of Cis-Lunar space, the portion of space between the Earth and the moon. Control of Cis-Lunar space would give a country the ability to shoot down or otherwise disable deep-space satellites, which are essential for, among other things, the early warning of ballistic missile attacks." — Richard Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center, to the author, March 2014. The free world should view Chinese and Russian progress with alarm. China's regime, for instance, has made it clear it intends to annex space. Ye Peijian made it clear that Beijing intends to exclude others from the moon, among other places, if it is in a position to do so. The American-led Artemis program also contemplates a base at the south pole. NASA, unfortunately, has been pushing back Artemis timetables. Article II of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty prohibits "national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means," but when has a treaty obligation ever stopped the People's Republic from doing whatever it wants?

Despite most conflicts occurring on Earth, there's growing concern about the possibility of warfare extending to space, fueled by technological advancements and the potential for military activities on celestial bodies like the moon. Key figures in global politics, such as California Republican Ken Calvert, are discussing the idea of the United States military becoming involved in lunar operations to counter perceived threats from countries like Russia and China. Calvert highlighted worries about China's lunar base plans and reports suggesting Russia's intent to deploy a powerful bomb in low Earth orbit, which could have devastating effects on space infrastructure. #clickmepakistan #China #Russia #spacewars #Earth

Iran announced the successful launch of a 500-kilogram capsule into orbit, carrying animals, as part of preparations for future human missions. The telecommunications minister, Isa Zarepour, stated that the capsule reached 130 kilometers into orbit. The launch, conducted with the new “Salman” class of domestically built space rockets, aims to advance Iran’s space program. While it wasn’t immediately clear if live animals were onboard, Iran previously claimed to have sent turtles, a rat, and worms into space 13 years ago. However, the nation has faced warnings from the US and other western countries, linking its space technology to potential ballistic missile development. #iran #spacemission #spaceexploration #businessdor

On Thursday, the US Space Force successfully launched an operational weather satellite for the first time in a decade, marking a significant step forward in upgrading a meteorological network that has been in orbit for over half a century. The Ball Aerospace-built satellite was launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base on April 11 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, signaling the start of a modernization effort for the Space Force's 60-year-old weather constellation, the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). The newly launched spacecraft is part of the Weather Satellite Follow-on Microwave program, or WSF-M, and is equipped with sensors capable of measuring atmospheric moisture, cloud cover, and precipitation. This data is crucial for the military to plan its missions effectively. The last DMSP satellite was launched in 2014, and this latest launch marks the beginning of a new era of weather monitoring and forecasting for the Space Force, ensuring that the military has access to accurate and timely weather data to support its operations. This significant milestone highlights the Space Force's commitment to advancing space technology and its role in supporting military operations, as well as the broader importance of weather monitoring and forecasting for the global community. #defense #defence #military #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation

The U.S. government is pushing for real progress in on-orbit refueling and servicing technologies over the next two years, with implications for military space operations, future lunar habitats, and the space economy at large. https://lnkd.in/gxsMheMa

The 2024 Global Assessment of space weapons possessed by major spacefaring nations not surprisingly focuses on conventional weapons and delivery systems. While Russia and China are bridging the gap with the US in this category, it's in the exotic weapons category and classified delivery systems (SSPs) that the US still has a dominant advantage for decades to come. This is why the US is leading the Artemis Accords and Combined Space Operations Initiative that spacefaring countries are joining. In contrast, China's international space initiatives are languishing, yet in the long term, China will be the major threat to US space dominance, as I discuss in Rise of the Red Dragon (2020).
