@Hafizz,

Infact if its ONLY in MILITARY Domain India is Ahead of China in Spy Sat Technology.

WE HAVE 'EYES' IN SPACE WHICH IS MATCHED ONLY BY USA .

THE T.E.S. ( TECHNOLOGY EXPERIMENT SATELLITE ) HAD A RESOLUTION CAPABILITY OF 1 METRE, AND LATEST CARTOSAT HAS .8 METRE CAPABILITY [ WHICH CHINA IS YET TO DEMONSTRATE ] WHICH FALLS SHORT ONLY BEHIND USA WHICH CAN DELIVER .6 METRE RESOLUTION IMAGES.

NOW TELL ME WHO IS a 'Wet Dreamer'??

ISRO is our Crown Jewel in Technology.

JAI HO:

Said by the Indian only, Any other nation's article is second to what you say?

 

[Hafizzz]

Why do Indian members feel so threatened by chinese progress that they feel a need to explain it away?

I can tell you now if Chinese achievements make you uncomfortable, you are in for a rough time this century.

The answer is : India is jealous of China's success.

Wet Dream LOL

well Indian are able to watch dreams but in your case you are even not able to watch dreams

 

[lca mk2]

The answer is : India is jealous of China's success.

I wish you can say that for your self
Whats your status in space technology ????

@lunnn & hafizz...

In that case when u hit a satellite why should the world believe that u even have a working ASAT?
I see No Point in Stating that Since Success of ASAT is reported by Chinese Media its Non Conclusive.

We have the Super Advanced Spy Sats with .8 Mt. Resolution capability... If china has better do tell me.

BTW Do Have a Look at This : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/1679321.stm

lmao what does the bold part read? didn’t realize until you quoted it!

 

[darkhand08]

Can you quote the source informing about china having 60 satellites in the military domain...??
Also a neutral source from Pakistani/Chinese people is expected from us too...

Are you suggesting that China should shoot down the "Super Advance Spy Sats" of India ? Ok cool

Are you suggesting that China should shoot down the "Super Advance Spy Sats" of India ? Ok cool

but the point remains..the spy sats with India are much advanced, then with China... China needs to catch up there....

 

[qwerrty]

china has SAR sats working in orbit for nearly a decade. yeah, they need to catch up to india who just got 1 up recently..haha..and it's made by israel..lol wet dream...

There is not much you can find about the Chinese military satellite. Last year China had launched 2 spy satellite in Dec consecutively 5 days apart. As with many things China had done with its military, the specification of those satellites are unknown to outsiders, as China even insisted that those satellites are for scientific purposes.

China completes 2009 schedule by launching another spy satellite
December 15th, 2009 by Rui C. Barbosa

China have launched the YaoGan Weinxing-8 “remote sensing” satellite via a CZ-4C Chang Zheng-4C from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center early on Tuesday. The final launch of the year is being classed as an Earth Monitoring satellite by the Chinese media. However, experts have revealed the bird is the latest to be equipped with reconnaissance hardware.

Chinese launch:

The new satellite is intended for “scientific experiments, land survey, crop yield assessment, and disaster monitoring” purposes, with the previous satellite in the series, YaoGan Weixing-7, was launched just five days ago from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on a CZ-2D Chang Zheng-2D launch vehicle.

Analyzing the other previous launches in this series, it’s believed there are two versions of this spacecraft; a synthetic aperture radar imaging series and an electro-optical observation series.

The first YaoGan Weixing satellite (29092 2006-015A) was launched by a CZ-4C Chang Zheng-4C (CZ4C-1) from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center on April 27, 2006. At the time the details about this satellite were closely guarded by the Chinese, before being revealed as the first Jian Bing-5 satellite – equipped with the first space-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR).

The YaoGan Weixing-2 (31490 2007-019A) was launched on 25 May, 2007, on a CZ-2D Chang Zheng-2D (CZ2D-8) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Details were also restricted, though it is claimed that this spacecraft was an electro-optical military observation satellite, complementing the results of the YaoGan Weixing-1.

On November 12, 2007, the YaoGan Weixing-3 (32289 2007-055A) satellite was launched by a CZ-4C Chang Zheng-4C (CZ4C-2) launch vehicle from Taiyuan. This satellite was noted as the second Jian Bing-3 SAR satellite.

On December 1, 2008, YaoGan Weixing-4 (33446 2008-061A) – the second electro-optical satellite on the series – was launched by a CZ-2D Chang Zheng-2D from Jiuquan, and on December 15, 2008, YaoGan Weixing-5 (33456 2008-064A) was launched by a CZ-4B Chang Zheng-4B (CZ4B-12) from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. It is believed this satellite was the fourth SAR bird on the series.

YaoGan Weixing-6 (34839 2009-021A) was launched by a CZ-2C Chang Zheng-2C-III from Taiyuan on April 22 this year and it is believed this satellite was the fifth SAR satellite.

Also riding on the Long March rocket was the XW-1 Xi Wang-1 – formerly known as CAS-1 (China Amateur radio Satellite) – which is the first Chinese amateur satellite to launch with a government launcher.

According to the International Amateur Radio Union, the payload of XW-1 includes Telemetry Beacon, Linear Transponder, FM repeater and Digital Store-forward Transponder. One watt output is planned for the transponder and 200mW for the beacon.

The satellite is understood to have a mass of 50 kg – though other sources point to a 35 kg mass with a amateur radio payload of 5.2 kg. The satellite contains a 1.6 kg experimental payload and a 0.2 kg CMOS camera.

XW-1 is 0.55m by 0.35m sized satellite and is powered by a Li ion 16 Ah battery. The satellite will operate in a Sun Synchronous Orbit at 499 km mean altitude, with an inclination of 98 degrees and an orbital period of 94 minutes.

This launch was the sixth orbital launch by China this year, the 122nd Chinese orbital launch, the 29th orbital launch from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, and the second orbital launch from Taiyuan this year. This was the fourth use of a CZ-4C Chang Zheng-4C launch vehicle.

Situated in the Kelan County on the northwest part of the Shanxi Province, the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center is also known by the Wuzhai designation. It is used mainly for polar launches (meteorological, Earth resources and scientific satellites).

The launch center is equipped with a Mission Command and Control Center, a Technical Center and telemetry, tracking and communications centers. There are two launch complex buildings in Taiyuan.
