Russian satellite is unusual!
Its unique orbit has attracted the attention of Western observers.
July 15, Russian newspapers reported.
In a recent launch, the Russian Angara A5 rocket placed the Cosmos 2589 satellite into orbit, whose orbit has attracted the attention of Western observers.
The satellite entered an unusual equatorial orbit at an altitude of 20,000 to 51,000 kilometers.
This orbit allows it to move in sync with the Earth's rotation, rotating once every 24 hours.
Notably, the satellite temporarily approaches a group of U.S. government and commercial satellites located at a similar altitude twice a day.
It is speculated that this behavior could allow Russian experts to obtain detailed images of foreign satellites, including intelligence.
In the UK, it has been reported that Western analysts are becoming increasingly interested in this Russian satellite.
Western experts have proposed various hypotheses about its purpose, including as a satellite inspector or a platform for kinetic anti-satellite weapons.
According to reports cited by analysts, it is capable of continuously monitoring enemy spy satellites and destroying them if necessary.
Russian netizen CAHEK2 C. said:
Who is deploying spies in space? The United States takes high-resolution photos of Chinese satellites, and Chinese media has already called it "spying."
Western experts "double standards politics." ????
