Американская компания United Launch Alliance осуществила сегодня запуск с космодрома на мысе Канаверал (штат Флорида) ракеты-носителя Delta IV с двумя разведывательными спутниками для нужд ВВС США.
Старт был дан в 00:52 по времени Восточного побережья США (07:52 мск). Аппараты будут использованы в соответствии с новой программой американских военных, получившей название GSSAP. Ее цель - наблюдение за другими спутниками, находящимися на геосинхронной орбите.

COMSPOC notes that this month USA 270, a U.S. satellite, neared a pair of new Chinese technology test satellites, Shiyan-12 (01) and (02), as it drifted East just below the GEO belt during its operations.
"As you can see, as that [USA 270] satellite gets close, and does a maneuver in the vicinity of these two Chinese satellites, within a matter of two days, the Chinese satellites are on the move," says Jim Cooper, lead for SSA solutions with COMSPOC.
"China has clearly been monitoring this satellite as it approaches; they've seen what the U.S. has done to maneuver, in a way that potentially could impact their satellites.
"They processed that; they understood it. And they effectively planned and executed a mitigation strategy around that U.S. satellite," Cooper says, seeing both of these satellites leave the area in synchronicity to get away from that U.S. satellite.
"What we're showing here is counterspace technology. So, they're kind of employing a tactic, technique [and] procedure, or TTP, as it's known by the U.S. Department of Defense, and are showing that they've got the exquisite, timely and responsive SSA to understand events that are unfolding."
The closest approach between the U.S. and one of the Chinese satellites was around 73 kilometers, according to COMSPOC. Not close enough to threaten a potential collision, but enough for one party to decide if it wanted to leave the vicinity to avoid potential intelligence gathering or other activities by the other.

Soon after a pair of Chinese satellites reached geostationary orbit early this year, space surveillance satellite USA 270 maneuvered to get a closer look at its new neighbors.
As USA 270 closed in on Shiyan-12-01 and Shiyan-12-02, the Chinese inspection satellites took off in opposite directions with Shiyan 12 02 moving into position to get a sunlit view of the U.S. surveillance satellite.



"It's pretty clear that as USA 270 gets close, these guys are getting out of Dodge," said Dan Oltrogge, COMSPOC Corp. research director. "It also demonstrates that countries are doing what we call counterspace. They're taking action to avoid disclosure of their capabilities or their activities."

Сабжи продолжают работать перемещаясь туда-сюда вдоль ГСО. Объект В стабилиировался в районе 125 в.д. и скорее всего пасёт там какогото китайца. Объект А уже скоро полгода как не маневрируя дрейфует на восток и уже приблизился к линии перемены дат. Того гляди уйдёт в западное полушарие. Это можно было бы считать уводом, но нет, так как орбита на 15 км ниже стационарной.
