Pentagon to pip down renegade spy satellite
This post deals mainly with:
- greenpeace
- microsoft
- nothing
I love the add to the pic.
Lets hope they do a better job floating it up than Cathay made with theirs.
So why does not the Pentagon direct a marauder to occupy out that alien? It would be more effectual than directing a projectile. Believe Pentagon conceive!
How do I cognise this is not a squalid Collar plot to blare Canicula/XM out of the sky?
I love how the US acquired all all over China’s backside for floating up their satellite, but today that we’re travelling to do the like thing, hey, ai not no thang, right? Any.
Nightstick,
My seeing is that this satellite is in an a lot toned orbit than the Chinese satellite, so a lot so that it is locomoting to enter the ambience in an affair of hebdomads. The debris from this military operation (if successful) will not stay in orbit for very retentive.
If yet, you destruct a satellite in a high orbit where doing work satellites survive, you risk having former artificial satellites discredited as the debris will stay in [a valuable] orbit a great deal tenacious.
That is why the Chinese “test” is worthy of more unfavorable judgment. Although… this still looks to be a spot of oneupmanship based on prior statments that pointed a hazard to citizenry on the anchorred was highly distant.
@Will
Could it be possible that some of the debris get recoiled into an a lot high orbit?
is having one thousand thousands of parts of debris in orbit genuinely preferred to having it crash?
Uncle Tom Servo is mirthful.
yes.
Yes. Littler lumps are more likely to burn down up altogether on re-entry.
Besides, the main concern with this whole installment (aside from the obvious cares of undercover agent satellite technical school dropping into inimical custody) has been that the fuel incorporated in the satellite is toxic and could be spread all over populated countries. If we can get disembarrass of all (or most) of that fuel through burning, it will relieve that fear.
Chaff L is compensated. Maked not you citizenry realize the termination of Cloverfield?
Coverup for examination anti-sattelite implements of war?
hell yes!
That is the first thing that came up to my mind to a fault.
Watch Communist China shoot it down tomorrow… They’ve already tried their ASAT projectiles one time.
“State, why does that U.S. Spy Satellite have some weird Russian marks on it?”
Or perchance it will be a surprisal attack on North Korea or Islamic Republic of Iran that no one anticipated because of this narration.
OR, watch Cathay shoot down our ASAT projectile.
that’s what the first thing came up into my mind realising this word. Hell on earth yes!
Are you for existent? We’ve been capable to shoot down satellites since the 80’s, in all probability earliest.
does engadget choose photoshop or gimp?
Paint.NET
helloooooo exif tags!
I truly conceive insurance coverage of this tale needs to proceed; the clause mental image holds acquiring better. mabye some small hombre on the surface of the globe? one of those small bozos that scream at the ken of godzilla? and perchance you could change the ground mental image to a Google earth mental image of French capital Hilton’s firm with a clump of attractors all over it to draw in the satellite?
o please let the attractors be there!!!!
nowadays we will have to float up more satellites because space debris took out some other one. a never-ending cycle has simply commenced. on an up-note we will today have a ground to devolope deflector shields.
nowadays we will have to drift up more satellites because space debris took out some other one. a never-ending cycle has merely started. on an up-note we will today have a ground to devolope deflector shields.
regretful for the double post
Quandary.. upon recognition of a double post, should one presume all who realize cognizes it’s an mistake, or post once again to apologise for the double post, thus directing to a triple post?
Triple post, ftw!
aliens and missles w00t 
if all else neglects, blow it up! lol
As hypothecated elsewhere, they in all probability but want to get Existent certain (likely after oodles of research lab examination) that the supersecret sensing element that’s Bass inside that big satellite acquires burnt up in the ambiance.
Go forth it whole and risk it acquiring all the mode to the gorund.
This article:
looks to connote that they are exploitation the weapon systems to poke at the satellite away from human universes. I’m a shade confounded about what just they plan to do.
Multiple little globs could be regarded preferred because the little clods are more likely to zap in the Earth’s ambiance upon reentry. That’s my guess at least.
The Reuters article told that they were not very interested about the existent satellite hit humankind but instead with the fuel in the satellite leaking out out. On the face of it the fuel is toxicant.
> …fuel…
Lol!
Yea, we all cognise that utilising a few thousand re-entrydegrees to rocket fuel only changes it into a hard hearty.
Adult male, that last comment was alleged to be in reaction to John. Here, I’ll go fix it and…
Wait… I ca not redact comments….
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazine
Hydrazine is extremely toxic and perilously precarious, specially in the anhydrous sort. Symptoms of intense vulnerability to high levels of hydrazine in human race may let in annoyance of the eye, nose, and pharynx, lightheadedness, concern, sickness, pneumonic hydrops, ictus, comatoseness, and it can besides damage the liver, kidneys, and central uneasy scheme. The liquid is corrosive and may bring forth dermatitis from skin physical contact in human beings and creatures. Personal effects to the lungs, liver, lien, and thyroid have been accounted in beasts inveterate open to hydrazine via aspiration. Increased relative incidences of lung, nasal pit, and liver tumours have been ascertained in gnawers open to hydrazine.
Been ill since WW II as rocket fuel…
So, it has the like face personal effects as most prescription drugs.
Wow, what a rotten scheme this is! My reaction above was sent to Adam Hanson in the tbirdman double card above. I’m not even certain this will look under my falsely stationed post. Wow.
OK, I’m through noticing about posts. Regretful for your squandered clip.
The missles have advanced software system?
Can they play doom?
My dependable origins state me that they’re subject of Crysis on radical high spell much acting about with the omega hard (is that truly what it’s named?) bots thanks to its superior AI.
Hmmm…interesting….
Do not cognize about acting Doom but they can for sure spell it.
Yielded the loser rate of the optical maser channelised bombs of America put in the old Disconnection War is it advisable to found projectile into orbit and beg they do not screw up and use up out the International Infinite Place?
hahaha! classic!
Yes it was scripted by DMus , nowadays how do you feel? That’s what I believe everytime I conceive about Synchronize….. the bad thought evAr.
If you do not trust your software program shaper not to vote out you, when even flying the coop a nav software program or something in your motorcar…. than you cognise something is incorrect.
I love engadget’s sense of wittiness 
no wonder I say it every solar day (non-sarcasm here)
oh no! a missle malfuncted and hit Persia. ah good, win some misplace some.
Satellites fall out of the sky on a slightly regular ground as far as I tacit. I must state I conceive there are subterraneous needs to this. Either merely examination space arms or there’s something on that satellite they do not want anyone to cognize about. Then over again, I’m not truly lots of a confederacy Nut, so perhaps it’s just what they state it is. I am a small surprised that they have arm subject of stretch a satellite. I ever idea we were not alleged to do that. Too, is it only me or could it get sense to lay some kind of auto-destruct on these thing in the future so we do not have to pass megs introduction projectiles? What’s a British pound sterling of C4 cost?
The Norden Bombsight had got autodestruct.
The whole reason the satellite is travelling to ram in the first place (hold your confederacy possibilities to yourselves, thanks) is that there was a malfunction of some form that unbroken the orbital rectification schemes from doing work. If something made those schemes to misfunction, it’s not excessively big of a stretch to ideate that an auto-destruct scheme could malfunction overly under the like fortune.
In any case, the US has acquired piles of projectiles but sitting down about holding back to be adrift stuff up. It’d be a disgrace to have them go to squander
