Chinese Test Anti-Satellite Weapon
From AviationNow.com
U. S. intelligence agencies believe China performed a successful anti-satellite (asat) weapons test at more than 500 mi. altitude Jan. 11 destroying an aging Chinese weather satellite target with a kinetic kill vehicle launched on board a ballistic missile.
Now there is a cloud of debri that will orbit for years and remain a threat to other satellites.
Have to hand it to the Chinese for a successful mission though.
What every happened to the DART satellite concept? Was there a replacement mission after the failure?
