'The frequent close approaches of the GSSAP satellite to Chinese high-value space assets pose a serious threat to their security,' alleges Chinese researchers.
The Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Programme satellites of the US Air Force repeatedly approached China's most expensive and sophisticated satellites in geostationary orbit ,"The frequent close approaches of the GSSAP satellite to Chinese high-value space assets pose a serious threat to their security," claimed the team led by researcher Cai Sheng of the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics.
According to the Chinese study, the GSSAP satellites have high-resolution optical cameras and sophisticated electronic surveillance tools that enable them to take photos and listen in on radio transmissions from other spacecraft.They are able to take precise pictures of other GEO satellites, including details like antennas and sensors, thanks to their high-resolution optical cameras.
On the other hand, it would not be advantageous if the target satellite were in the "up-light observation area" of the GSSAP satellite, which is between the GSSAP satellite and the sun.
