China test boosted space risk up to 40 pct: U.S. govt
The Chinese anti-satellite test in January increased the risk that a spacecraft could collide with debris by up to 40 percent in some orbits, the U.S. Air Force Space Command said on Wednesday.
The risk of a crash with a piece of debris 1 cm or larger rose to a range of 1.1-1.4 in 1,000, depending on the orbit, according to the command.
