China Space Military：Recon, Satcom, Navi, ASAT/BMD, Orbital Vehicle, SLV, etc.

December 23, the CZ-7A carrier rocket took off at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in China, lifting the Shiyan-12 satellites 01 and 02 into the sky , And then the satellite entered the scheduled orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.

The Shiyan-12 satellites 01 and 02 are two 3-ton satellites developed by the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Limited.

These two newly launched sats are PLASSF assets in GEO, then an "interesting" event took place earlier this month. US Space Force satellite USA 270 drifted East just below the GEO belt during its operations and came within their vicinity, PLASSF picked up on the approach & immediately moved both SY-12 sats quickly in synchronicity.

“What we’re showing here is counterspace technology. So, they’re (China) kind of employing a tactic, technique & procedure, or TTP, as it’s known by the U.S. Department of Defense, and are showing that they’ve got the exquisite, timely and responsive SSA (Space Situational Awareness) to understand events that are unfolding.” COMSPOC​

Do expect more such "encounters" in the coming days, if not direct conflicts. PLASSF has multiple ASAT options for lower orbits like land-based HQ-19, sea-based HQ-26 (deployed on Type 055) and others, but so far only one land-based DN-2/3 to target GEO. Beefing up co-orbital ASAT capabilities at GEO is our next focus.

China, Russia sign new satnav deal to strengthen position as GPS challengers

Agreement promises to ensure ‘complementarity of the global navigation satellite systems in terms of system timescales’, in a step up from a 2018 deal.

Damn so we are more advanced in space than we think?

Yes, in fact we have developed such capabilities (RPO + Robotic Arm) since early 2000's in lower orbits, this latest move is carried out in high orbits aka GEO.

New device could protect satellites from microwave attacks, scientists say

Initial testing suggests the technology may help a satellite survive and function after being hit by an energy surge from a high-power microwave weapon, according to the team.

[China successfully launched 02 batches of satellites from GalaxySpace]

At 14:01 on March 5, 2022, Beijing time, my country used the Long March 2C carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center to successfully launch the GalaxySpace 02 batch of satellites (6) and one commercial remote sensing satellite on board. . The satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success. This batch of satellites is mainly used for low-orbit Internet constellation networking technology and service capability verification, as well as remote sensing technology verification. This mission is the 410th flight of the Long March series of launch vehicles. (Photo: Zheng Zhongli)
