Original title: Look! This is what many people worship as Musk, the Starlink satellite twice dangerously approaching the Chinese space station
The explosive news in recent days, I believe many people have seen, on July 1 and October 21 this year, 2 US satellites actively lowered the orbital altitude, approaching the "Tianhe" core module, so that the space station had to carry out "emergency shelter". Specifically, it is Musk and SpaceX's "Starlink", the first of which is the Starlink-1095 satellite, and the second is the Starlink-2305 satellite. Some netizens said that Starlink is "the largest space junk in human history" and is "America's space war weapon", and the space station should be allowed to install a new mechanical arm to "cut" these porcelain-touching satellites. In fact, in addition to this method, the star chain in the sky, Tesla on the ground. You can also consider the Tesla market on the ground to regulate the star chain in the sky.
The founder of Space Exploration Technology is musk, the world's famous technology maniac. According to the information currently revealed, more than half of the close contact incidents between satellites (within 1 km) that have occurred since 2019 have been caused by the company's Starlink satellites. The dangerous approach of the Starlink satellite to the space station requires not only a statement from Space Exploration Technologies, but more importantly, the United States and the military. Because the biggest shareholder and user behind this company is the US military, in a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an Asset of the United States. Musk's satellite has a strong maneuverability, so the threat to the space station can be imagined, now it is a satellite, the future will not rule out becoming a weapon with offensive capabilities. At the same time, Musk is also serving the US military, making other countries feel worried and worried.
The space station has twice urgently avoided touching the US "Starlink" satellite, which has aroused heated discussion. In particular, in order to avoid the US Starlink satellites, the space station was forced to maneuver in orbit, posing a danger to the life and health of the space station and the astronauts on board. The US "Starlink" satellite is the so-called space program built by Musk, tesla boss. The U.S. "Starlink" satellite system itself has been controversial, and the Starlink satellite has been involved in about 1600 spacecraft approach events, accounting for half of all spacecraft events. Where is the "Starlink" satellite, which is clearly the "mine warfare" in us space! Some Western forces are preparing to engage in space "terrorism"? Think space is the Middle East? From now on, when the US "Starlink" satellite fights a war, the US military can use this unimportant satellite to hit the important military satellites of other countries, and it is more than enough to do in one fell swoop. Peacetime and wartime combination, but also save money! Space-X is clearly a U.S. military project, and once built, every grid on Earth is under U.S. surveillance every minute and every second. It becomes substantially indestructible because of the sheer number. Then the Starlink satellites will fall from the sky and smash into the aviation weather of countries that do not obey the will of the United States. Next, the space station needs to be equipped with self-defense missiles, laser weapons, and robotic arms that need to be equipped with large scissors, and when they get close, they will collapse and cut off, not to mention that we have no warning!
Back to Musk's "star chain", it is divided into many kinds, the mass size is different, and this time approaching the space station star chain -1095 satellite and star chain -2305 satellite, weighing 227 kg and 260 kg, although in the entire satellite family like a "dwarf", but once because of non-professional operation, hit the space station, the consequences are unimaginable, even can not be remedied. It should be known that on July 1, Shenzhou twelve 3 astronauts were still on the space station, and on October 21, Shenzhou thirteen astronauts just entered the station, and the "Starlink" satellite posed a great threat to their life safety.
Both times approaching, there were people on the space station
This is just the tip of the iceberg of the "Starlink" satellite system threatening the safety of spaceflight, the upper stage of a "Falcon" 9 rocket launched by SpaceX in 2019, at 7:18 Moscow time on November 25, 2021, rubbed shoulders with the International Space Station at a distance of about 5.5 kilometers, resulting in US and Russian astronauts having to enter the spacecraft for "emergency shelter".
