Analysis of China’s ASAT test on May 13, 2013

Posted on by alert5

Former USAF space analyst Brian Weeden has a comprehensive article on China’s alleged anti-satellite (ASAT) test on May 13, 2013.

Using open source data and purchasing commercial satellite imagery, Weeden builds the case that the “high-altitude scientific research mission” given by the Chinese was a cover for testing a
road-mobile ASAT weapon system.
