>A Chinese Satellite Just Grappled Another And Pulled It Out Of Orbit >A Chinese satellite was observed grabbing another satellite and pulling it out of its normal geosynchronous orbit and into a “super-graveyard drift orbit.” The maneuver raises questions about the potential applications of these types of satellites designed to maneuver close to other satellites for inspection or manipulation and adds to growing concerns about China's space program overall. >The unusual maneuver was observed by telescopes belonging to commercial space awareness firm Exoanalytic Solutions. During a webinar hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) this week, Exoanalytic Solutions’ Brien Flewelling said the SJ-21 satellite “appears to be functioning as a space tug.” Space Command did not respond to a request for comment, Breaking Defense reports. >The method used is unknown, but is rumored to be using a large net. thedrive.com/the-war-zone/44054/a-chinese-satellite-just-grappled-another-and-pulled-it-out-of-orbit
It's over burgers, Chinese can literally fish your satellites.
That's a nice satellite there, it would be a pity if someone were to steal it...
China develops new tentacle-like robot to clear space debris >TIANJIN, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- Removing trash in space will now be easier thanks to a China-developed continuum robotic arm. >Inspired by human limbs, most robots are created with discrete links rigidly connected by joints. The continuum robot, in contrast, can move by bending through a series of continuous arcs producing motion akin to tentacles or snakes. >Researchers from Tianjin University has developed such a robotic arm that can be used to chase down and collect debris from satellites and other space technology orbiting high above Earth. >The robotic arm, which resembles the arm of an octopus or the trunk of an elephant, includes a central backbone made up of a superelastic metal alloy of nickel and titanium, which can revert naturally back to its original shape after being bent or deformed by outside forces. It also has a camera and a grasping claw attached to the head. xinhuanet.com/english/2021-02/04/c_139721266.htm
This method has been discussed and theorized since 2010

China would be rendered obsolete in a day if America lost the kike shackles

>sending trannies and niggers in space won't help either Only because we aren't sending enough of them up there.

Chink shills are more obnoxious and disgustingly retarded than American shills, both can tounge my anus Nice Satilite tho, Argentina makes some triple Satilites and some other shit, wait.... Do we Till have them?

space is fake.

Bruh look up X37B We have been destroying other people's satellites for decades.
Dylan Brown
china is kinda blowing this whole >space is real thing
David Gray
look at that CGI lmao globies are desperate

This is Biden's America.
Robotic space bugs should be destroyed with lasers by the Space Force.
