The Russians are building a laser that blinds satellites - an expert explains the technology

If the Russian government is able to build the laser, it will be able to protect a large part of the country from observation by satellites with optical sensors. Technology also sets the stage for the more threatening possibility

The US will stop testing anti-satellite weapons and demand that this become an international norm; China: developing systems to tow satellites

US Vice President Kamala Harris announced this in a review before the Space Guard; more than 1,600 pieces are floating in space since the Russian test about six months ago, over 2,400 pieces are still floating after 15

The head of the Russian space agency threatens: we will stop providing stabilization services to the International Space Station "from our side it will fall on the USA or Europe"

Director of Roscosmos Dimitri Rogozin referred to the DMS-R facility used to navigate the station, although it was designed by the European Space Agency and integrated into the Russian component of the Zavezda space station * as well as the Progress cargo spacecraft
