Inspector calls

摘要

1.A Russian 'nesting doll' satellite shadowed and inspected the US KH-11 (USA-245) reconnaissance satellite in 2020, raising concerns about ongoing pathways towards the weaponisation of space.2.Co-orbital anti-satellite (ASAT) kill technology would complement ground-based ASAT systems to form a possible multitier ASAT capability.3.The need to protect space assets from either inspection or interception will almost certainly become a top priority for states with substantial space-based assets, leading to further development of anti-anti-satellite weapons.
