State tests of a new low-Earth orbit monitoring radar have been completed

14

Russia has completed state tests of a new radar station that allows tracking small spacecraft and satellites. This was announced by the chief designer of the early warning system Sergey Boev.

According to the general director of IAC Vympel, the new radar station allows round-the-clock tracking of small satellites and space debris in orbit. In addition, several new products are on the way, which will allow Russia to expand the zone of controlled near-Earth space.



Successfully completed state tests of a specialized radar station, which made it possible to conduct constant and high-quality control over the operation of small-sized satellites - spacecraft, as well as space debris elements in small near-Earth orbit

- leads TASS Boev's words.

At present, an updated space control system that has undergone modernization has been put on combat duty. We are talking about radio-optical complexes "Krona", "Window" and "Sight". To date, complexes that provide space surveillance are located in Altai, Karachay-Cherkessia, Tajikistan and the Moscow Region.

As has been repeatedly reported, the United States, hiding behind an imaginary threat from Russia and China, is actively developing near-Earth space, including for military purposes. The Chinese press recently wrote about US attempts to revive the Star Wars project. Earlier this year, the US Space Force awarded Northrop Grumman a contract to develop a Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC) radar system capable of tracking objects in geosynchronous orbit. In total, the United States plans to build three radars that will allow them to control the entire near-Earth space.

    Control is management (regulation), not observation.
    Reconnaissance satellites over the combat area must be regulated: you observe - you remove from orbit.

      Taking into account the fact that all NATO satellites over Europe work only to serve the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it is high time to turn on all sorts of mega-jammers and superlasers for suppression and incapacitation. But even somehow you can’t hear either bravura reports or indignation from the other side.
      Can't or won't? Or are they afraid of the next twenty-fifth package of sanctions?
      So many questions...

        Most likely, the time has not yet come for them.

    It's a good news. We can track even small-sized objects in near-Earth orbit. Now it is necessary to increase, among other things, the near-Earth satellite constellation itself.

      The trampoline lover has been removed, maybe there will be some progress.

    If only that Tajikistan did not turn towards the Americans and leave with that complex ...

      Oh right! The states do nothing in vain, probably they also want to "pay off" this "Eye" for us!

    Listen less propaganda about all sorts of jammers
    we were told how they would suppress everything. And now it turned out that nothing of the kind.

    The United States, nevertheless, has already entered the phase of the beginning of the collapse in society, and at the same time in the economy, and being in agony, we will be ready to do anything to defend our world leadership. A simpler solution is needed to influence foreign satellites, especially the United States, and not necessarily with physical destruction, if this is not necessary.

    To control is one thing, but what can be opposed is another, so much so that the contract is not violated.
