China Set for Critical Orbital Refueling Test With 2 U.S. Satellites Watching Closely

Two Chinese satellites are walking next to each other for an experimental demonstration that can prolong the longevity of the spacecraft.

Shijian-21 and SHIJIAN-25, this is a number of maneuvers that maneuver each other, which consists of each other, which consists of each other, consisting of each other, which consists of each other, which consists of each other, which consists of each other only two-degree in Monday, according to the company, Compcoc. On Wednesday, China’s Geostationary Orbit (GEO) has been set to meet for a dock procedure for the first orbit gas station, which moves in the space station to avoid extending the life of the satellites. China’s satellites are not only because the two US control spaces are approaching to watch all the pentagon technology can represent a significant stage in the cosmic ambition of China.

Two satellites, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Shanghai ScucFlight Techoremy, developed by an assistant assistant. Shijian-25 was launched in SHIJIAN-21 before SHIJIAN-21 in 2021. About a year later, the SHIJIAN-21, Beidou-2 G2 navigation satellite, made the cemetery in orbit above cotton and declare Then.

Since then, Shijian-21 has recently fled fuel until he recovered with his maneuvers to close Schimian-25. Most likely, about 313 pounds (142 kilograms) of the SHIJIAN-25, the target of the orbit gas testing of the orbit of about 313 kilograms (142 kilograms) to extend the life of the satellite for eight years The universe today.

The refueling test has raised concerns about China’s growing space opportunities in the United States, and officials wanted to watch the situation closely. According to the comspoc, part of the geosinchronous space situation, the United States 271 and the United States 271, USA counts consciousness programs, approaching the approach of China satellites. “Although the US assets are directly involved, the proximity is complicated by the local SSA and increases strategic awareness concerns” write X.

The United States has previously implemented its own orbit refueling tests. In 2019, Northrop Grumman burned a satellite in space to extend his life to five years, the first company to do so. The United States also develops its own orbital refueling tests known as Tetra-5 and Tetra-6 using Tetra-5 and Tetra-6, Tetra-5 and Tetra-6, Tetra-5 and other commercial suppliers.

So far, the US space opponent will cling to the orbital maneuver in a safe distance.
