"Starlink Project" locks the earth: how to break in the face of Musk's satellite siege war?

Whether appreciated or controversial, Elon Musk is indeed a cattle man, not just because he has a lot of money.

Just like Russia and Ukraine went to war, these two countries shed blood and sacrificed, European countries endured economic contraction, the United States sat on the currency repatriation dividend, and Musk used the Starlink to make a big splash.

As the richest man on Earth, Musk first launched the Starlink program, playing the banner of network coverage around the world, benefiting all mankind.

Starlink plans, the degree of innovation in technology is not high, the use of cheap satellite stacks, to win the volume, to achieve global real-time Internet access without dead ends.

At the same time, these cheap and large satellites can also seize the resources of low Earth orbit after the day, and eat two fish, which is so perfect!

Now that a conflict has broken out between Russia and Ukraine, The Starlink plan to throw away this layer of civilian vests outside and immediately turn it into a murderous weapon for shirtless combat.

When the many satellites of the Starlink program skimmed over Ukraine, it was possible to achieve one-way transparency of the battlefield.

This low-orbit satellite constellation not only can prevent wartime communications, but also help the military to keep a variety of intelligence at any time, and even provide guidance and correction for Ukraine's anti-ship missiles.

In other words, whether it is in the sky or underground, in fact, for the Starlink Project, it is all small and transparent, and everyone has a deeper and clearer understanding of what Musk has done.

Superficial civilian, wartime military, from the actual effect, the "Starlink Project" is a new upgrade of the US space strategy.

What was different from before was that this time the imperial court did not pay for it and put Shen Wansan in front.

On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial satellite "Sputnik 1/Спутник-1".

The satellite has been in orbit for 92 days, orbiting the earth about 1,400 times and traveling 60 million kilometers, heralding the arrival of the era of human spaceflight.

However, this made the United States extremely panicked, and the satellite was like a dog's head hovering over its head, and at any time it would send a god to execute the apocalyptic judgment, thus giving rise to the term "Sputnik moment".

Sputnik ≈ America was about to finish

It was not until August 1960, when the United States successfully launched the first generation of spy reconnaissance satellites, the Discoverer, that this space anxiety was slightly alleviated.

The "Discoverer" satellite, which uses a panoramic camera and covers an area of about 4.5 million square kilometers, its smooth liftoff marks the beginning of the Space Espionage War of the United States to monitor the world, and also sets the tone for the US space strategy.

Strike enemies from space, and at the same time, guard against dangers coming from space.

In this strategic plan of "attacking and defending both", it is necessary to choose to focus on attack.

From 1960 to 1976, the United States successively launched five generations of spy reconnaissance satellites, and the corresponding shooting technology was upgraded from the first generation of panoramic camera film shooting to the fifth generation of advanced camera shooting, with scanners, television cameras and side-view radar composed of working groups.

Compared with the current "Starlink Plan", this configuration in that year is not the same as the technical content.

However, decades of poor technology have not cut off the inheritance between the two: the use of satellite reactors, the amount of victory, to achieve global coverage without dead ends.

In the more than a decade that the United States has been battling satellites into the sky, more than 600 satellites have taken off, and more than 100 spy satellites are in orbit at their peak.

According to the declassified data, more than 850,000 intelligence photos taken by these spy satellites against the Cold War rival Soviet Union reached the top-secret archival standard, including Soviet troops in Eastern Europe, Soviet space and missile programs, and so on.

Moreover, spy satellites were not only aimed at the Soviet Union, but also our Lop Nur area and coastal areas were the places where they had to punch in.

In 1967, Israel launched attacks on Egypt, Jordan and Syria, known as the June War.

Israel, with its own ingenuity and preparations, quickly occupied Palestine, Egypt's Sinai Desert, and the Syrian Golan Heights, which together amounted to 3.5 times israel's own territory.

In order to regain land occupied by Israel, in 1973, Egyptian, Syrian and Palestinian guerrillas attacked Israel in a big way, and the "October War" broke out.

This time the attack and defense were different, Israel became a hasty side of the war, the war was beaten bloody, and the entire war process seemed to be completely in the hands of the other side.

Just when the Israeli version of "Sputnik Moment" appeared and was about to perform "to finish", the CIA intervened, providing off-site support to Israel by analyzing the photos transmitted by spy satellites, and turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop.

The CIA helped Israel through spy satellites, and Musk now helped Ukraine through the "Starlink Project", half a century apart, but how similar in every way.

Spying on satellites puts the United States in a dominant position in space, but it is also very expensive.

From research and satellite launching, to training and cultivating relevant talents, and to building related facilities, it is unimaginable to spend.

For space supremacy, it is estimated that from 1960 onwards, the United States will continue to invest nearly 4 trillion US dollars, equivalent to investing in 185 Manhattan Projects, enough for the United States to fight another World War II.

In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed, this Cold War, the United States won without a war, and then invested a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain the space strategy, it is obvious that the gains are not worth the losses.

Therefore, today's "Starlink Project" is simply the perfect solution.

Musk starred, capital flocked into the car, with the market economy to maintain space combat strength, but also the people and the army, salt and sweet, spending less money, fun a lot.

So, the question should come or come, how to face Musk's "Starlink Plan"?

We will only talk about three things, and we can probably answer this question.

First, in September 2020, we declared two low-orbit satellite constellations to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) under the code name "GW", which consist of 12992 satellites.

The second thing is that in February this year, the 49 satellites that the Starlink Project had just launched were affected by solar storms, and 40 of them fell into the atmosphere and burned.

The third thing, that was more than a decade ago.

On January 11, 2007, a Pioneer 1 series rocket launched by the Xichang Satellite Launch Center carried kinetic energy warheads and successfully destroyed the Decommissioned Satellite with an orbital altitude of 863 km /s and a weight of 750 kg, the Fengyun 1C Meteorological Satellite, at a speed of 8 km/s in the opposite direction.
