Researchers say China plans to build a huge satellite network in near-Earth orbit to provide internet services to users around the world – and to stifle Elon Musk’s Starlink.
The project has the code name “GW”, according to a team led by associate professor Xu Can with the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Space Engineering University in Beijing. But what these letters stand for is unclear.
The GW constellation will include 12,992 satellites owned by the newly established China Satellite Network Group Co, Xu and his colleagues said in a paper about anti-Starlink measures published in the Chinese journal Command Control and Simulation on February 15.
The launch schedule for these satellites remains unknown, but the number would rival the scale of SpaceX’s planned network of more than 12,000 satellites by 2027.
Xu’s team said the GW satellite constellation was likely to be deployed quickly, “before the completion of Starlink”. This would “ensure that our country has a place in low orbit and prevent the Starlink constellation from excessively pre-empting low-orbit resources”, they wrote.
The Chinese satellites could also be placed in “orbits where the Starlink constellation has not yet reached”, the researchers said, adding that they would “gain opportunities and advantages at other orbital altitudes, and even suppress Starlink”.
The Chinese satellites could be equipped with an anti-Starlink payload to carry out various missions, such as conducting “close-range, long-term surveillance of Starlink satellites”, they said.
The Starlink network, now with over 3,000 satellites in orbit, is expected to eventually grow to more than 40,000 satellites, according to SpaceX.
China’s space surveillance and defence capacity cannot cope with so many satellites, Xu’s team said.
The Starlink satellites can receive data from the US Department of Defence to plan or coordinate their positions, and they are equipped with surveillance sensors to monitor the space environment, according to the paper.
“The Starlink satellites may use their orbital manoeuvrability to actively hit and destroy nearby targets in space,” the researchers said.
China plans to build more powerful radar systems powered by new technology to identify and track Starlink satellites, they said.
According to the researchers, the radar and other detection measures would be used to update a “Starlink catalogue” that would eventually contain detailed data on every satellite.
Xu’s team said the Chinese government could also cooperate with other governments to form an anti-Starlink coalition and “demand that SpaceX publish the precise orbiting data of Starlink satellites”.
They added that new weapons, including lasers and high-power microwaves, would be developed and used to destroy Starlink satellites that pass over China or other sensitive regions.
The Ukrainian military has used Starlink services effectively against Russian forces. Since the war broke out, Chinese military researchers have repeatedly called for developing capabilities to destroy Starlink if necessary.
Stock up on iodine pills for the next nuclear disaster…
On February 13, SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted that the company would restrict the military use of Starlink in the Ukraine war because “we will not enable escalation of conflict that may lead to WW3”.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on February 18 that the US government had talked to Musk about the use of Starlink satellite internet in Ukraine, but did not elaborate. [SCMP]

50cal is a MAGA cult member who hasn’t seen a doctor in 13 years. And he cusses like a sailor on happy hour. He claims i’m a “maoist”, “gey” or whatever without any solid proof to slander and bully me.
HAY Visitor MAGA people are great i know .50cal for a long time , If he like MAGA so let it be still we all can be friends without creating tensions here… Every one knows truth but slightly different so please drop the the gas lighting between memebrs here yes freedom of press and speech for all of us but we should use it properly. World is in tensions and we do nto need create artificial tensions here as well. You can say what you like but do not cause havoc between us here thanks a lot.
Registered independent. I do vote Conservative. Doesn’t seem to much when we have rampant election fraud. However, not voting only speeds up the decline of Western civilization. I am not a “MAGA” guy, per se. Just vote for the best chance at improving the country. Usually Conservatives (not rinos) have sensible plans, and that slows down leftist perverts and freaks from turning America into Sodom.
Voter Fraud on the skids. Lefties crying like babies. Bye Bye ERIC fraudsters.

Demotards are in panic mode.
An article about trollbeciles: ???
https://www.revolver.news/2023/03/todays-maoist-young-revolutionaries-manage-to-be-helpless-stupid-ignorant-and-lame/
Rather than praying for those who are lost, you laugh at and mock them, you hideous viper 50cal. Yahweh/Yeshua won’t answer prayers from a prideful/arrogant lover of self like you, especially since you’re a blasphemer and reviler who likes dirty/pr.no.graphic “jokes”. And you pray for lost people to go to my house? Hopefully that’ll never happen.
All my prayers get answered. You are the loser. Go make a tranny dik-tok video with your pals.
MAGA cult whines about how “weak” gen z (last generation of man, before the nephlm hybrid injections were rolled out by stnist DJT) but won’t stop injecting their children with “safer smaller” v’s. Masonic duality at best.
Accusing me of being LGBT because you don’t like what I said about your vexxxine pushing gods and the links warning you about what they do behind “closed doors”. You type like you never left high school and like you never stopped being an angry cyberbully.
50cal please get serious psychiatric help or get locked inside a padded cell before you do a mass s’ooting against alleged “leftists”.
Nope, you’re a faggot. ????
50cal I hope you get cancer or an uncurable illness because of your extreme wickedness and nastiness. The Bible says that disease and anxiety is caused by our iniquity/sin. But you laugh and spew out gossip, lies, hypocrisy and blasphemy every time you see ONE user (even if it’s not me) who shares ANYTHING against your militant MAGA cult beliefs. Your “doctor” isn’t Yeshua at all.
Ah ha, our fake Christian putting his harry potter sex magic love doll curses upon me. Tisk Tisk, busted again Mr fake christian. Disciple of schmekles.?????
Your behavior and demeanor i very satanic, 50cal. True disciples like me will be hated and spat on/persecuted in the last days, while you chill out in your reeking Appalachian trailer/mobile home chugging down copious amounts of meat and MAGA propaganda like a cartoon caveman. You think I’m satanic because I rebuke you for your accusations and endless wickedness. Your sciatica should return very soon because of your massive sins and blasphemy.
People spit upon demonic sodomites, as they should. Use it as lube, sodomite.
I don’t even use tiktok. You are a pot calling the kettle black. You’re the liar here, not me. Don’t put hexes on our house by praying for lost people to come here. You WITCH.
Is that a section 8 house. You know, where welfare bums and unemployable retards live?
You’re the one being b-clowned (bad word) by your actual father (not Yeshua) every darn day 50cal and you’d rather have me be forced to work at a violent, hectic fast-food place (esp. if I cannot work without the mark of the beast which I refuse to get) than serve the only actual savior, our creator Yeshua?
I don’t prefer lefties at all. DJT’s speech about new “Quantum Leap” cities sound wonderful on the outside, but this is the man who is obese, drinks diet coke, forni.cates multiple women, he’d marry his own daughter, worse of all he is the self-proclaimed father of the vxxxine under Warp Speed. The “deep state” is a hoax and lie to usher in the USA Babalon communist NW0 under the guise of rebuilding USA (Babalon) by both political parties.
Oooooh bad words. Hahaha, you’re a joke. God doesn’t answer your prayers since you lay about all day. God helps those that help themselves. Not lazy mamzer buttclowns that lie, play the race card, play the sympathy card, don’t work.
Hope you get buttmonkeypox on your face too.
Calling a mentally disabled believer a “sodomite” is downright blasphemous.
Hopefully Yahweh won’t answer 50cal’s prayers anymore. He don’t care how many hours you work for man. He cares about what’s in your heart. You’re rotten inside out and your blood is rotten.
We are bette rthan AJ .50cal lol we tell truth here than any one..

Doctors, Scientists Call On Mississippi Officials To Take COVID Vaccines Off The Market

and COVID-19 is a hoax they should give all Americans retributions for false injections?
As soon as Israel attack on Ayatoolahs we will bring news here live with Emergency News.. Like Last time..
50cal is a MAGA cult member who hasn’t seen a doctor in 13 years. And he cusses like a sailor on happy hour. He claims i’m a “maoist”, “gey” or whatever without any solid proof to slander and bully me.
Play crybully and spew rubbish. Lame. I don’t need a doctor. God cures any ailment. Living proof, as prayer healed my sciatica. See my prayers get answered since I fight against satanic liars and trollbeciles like you ??.
Redchinesey and satanist Musk both suck. When enemies are fighting with each other it is a good day.
Also in the news, Iran will have nuclear weapons soon. 12 days out. That should be very geopolitically interesting. ?
Desert Eagle: Iran was supposed to have nukes 12 days AGO. I think 98% of what we hear about the wars and rumors of wars is propaganda and fear porn. I don’t trust ANY news source and only half of “alternative” news because most is controlled opposition, e.g. Alex Jones (which can be a good source of truth) but is still stifling, steering and misleading by his stories. And although I always had my doubts about AJ, like his hacking into Bohemian Grove which would be impossible, and his always being at the right place at the right time at Bilderberg meetings which he was the first to report on; His lack of presenting evidence (which he allegedly uncovered!) that Sandy Hook was a hoax at his trial last year made me totally aware of his double agent BS. He sat there for weeks allowing them to accuse him of wrongdoing while he had all that evidence we all reviewed and were disgusted by back in 2012 like the staging of firetrucks days before the “shooting” and the crazy Coroner’s report and don’t forget about the weird neighbor which invited children into his house for milk and cookies (?) and every other lie told by the MSM. He just kept his mouth shut about all of it! Does he think we are stupid and have no memory at all? ALL THE WORLD’s a stage and the dramatic theater has been increasing to the upcoming climax when millions of people suddenly disappear, coming soon to a city near you.
Maybe so, but A.J. has been right more than wrong. His radio show got cancelled in my area, and I don’t go his website much anymore. So, I haven’t kept up with his news. He is on the side of truth in my opinion.
You think you’re going to heaven with disgusting foul language, prnographic/sxual language and all kinds of iniquity you spew out daily. Reminds me of Mario Brisson and his yoga tattoo/b mark.
Foul language, respect for man (don’t matter which party its on) and massive lies, cyberbullying, blasphemy, sickening foul words and militant MAGA fanboyism. If you can’t step outside your Appalachian dragon lair without dropping an F word blast at a supposed “leftist” passerby because you worship Babalon (USA) instead of fleeing your gods, you need serious psychiatric help.
I’m no leftist and I recently abandoned Republican politics alongside the left. You’re completely demonically possessed (proven by your incredibly rotten, reeking text/online and spiritual fruits) and the Holy Spirit cannot reside in such a nasty and hateful person. He has fled your heart due to your rottenness and vileness and you are a poison ivy plant trying to produce figs. I’m the worst sinner there is but you are more concerned with economics and Babalon’s gods than the masonic KJV you supposedly read.
What “leftist talking points” am I making anyways? What’s behind your profane tantrums here 50cal? Go watch Colcasperky’s new Bit.chute video, then answer me.
Trollbecile minces around in his yoga pants trolling the sidewalks near sodomite bars. Hhahhaa. Loooooooser.
I love Chinese people (citizens, not those willfully doing evil things). You calling the entire Chinese populace and diaspora “redch.neesey” is extremely disgusting and insensitive, 50cal.
Liar. I call maoist —redchinesey. Done it dozens of times. You lose in your campaign of lies and drivel every day up here. Our family had American Chinese friends for 28 years to, but he died of old age. Go work on your TDS and DDS mental problems. Maybe get a job and work for a living. Lazy bastard retard!
Go over redchineseyville and eat a dog sandwich, you virtue signaling buttclown.
And you claim all chinese eat dog sandwiches. You’re so depraved and vomit-inducing as an “offgridman” I hope you suffer the world’s fate of eternal damnation in the eternal lake of fire for your evilness and xenophobia. 50cal/OffGridMan is an antichrist viper.
Fck you too. Stupid lame post as usual. You haven’t a clue about politics. You just spew leftist drivel talking points. Our country was economically better off when Trump was in power. All the traitors backstabbed him too. You get flack when you are over the target.
You prefer bozobiden and lefties in power, which proves you are getting buttclowned by satan every night living off your parents, doing nothing to improve your lot in life. You’re a bum, and parasite class do nothing loser.
Please tell Colcasperky and TrumpetForYahweh/Health Impact news about how wonderful DJT and RD are.
Being anti-republicanism isn’t satanic at all. Get a life and see a mental doctor 50cal.
You don’t vote, pay tax, work. Your opinion is worthless. Rough life. Living off your parents or government. Waste of skin, and loser. Don’t wet your bed.
