Chapter 303: Invasion of Military Satellites
Nebraska, USA.
8:42 p.m.!
Offat Air Force Base!
The space domain and the information domain involved in modern high-tech warfare are the two important strategic commanding heights of the country's military struggle, and the satellite system plays a decisive role in the process of contending for air supremacy and trust supremacy.
The United States is the country with the largest number of satellites in the world, and represents the world's advanced level in satellite management and application. At the same time, it is also a country with the largest variety of military satellites, the strongest comprehensive capability, and the most complete satellite operation and management mode.
The daily operation and management of its military satellites mainly rely on the National Reconnaissance Bureau and the Air Force Military Department and other departments or units, and the satellite information support for wartime combat missions relies on the Strategic Command to collect and coordinate the needs from the theater and command them in a unified manner.
U.S. Strategic Command!
The operation of the US military satellite system is managed by the Air Force, the Navy, and the US National Reconnaissance Bureau under the US Department of Defense.
At present, the former US Space Command, which is directly responsible for space and information operations of the Department of Defense, has been merged with the former Strategic Command, which is responsible for command and control of strategic forces. The new Strategic Command is responsible for military space operations for the entire U.S. military, commanding the Air Force Space Command, the Army Space Command, and the Navy Space Command as the Joint Operations Command.
Inside the operational command room.
In the constantly flashing screens, different information was presented, and the atmosphere of the scene was a little silent!
"Sir, the report from the Tianyan-1 satellite has been transmitted to the database......
"The focus of surveillance is on the southwest of China, and the northern part of the ......"
"At the same time, it also passed by Russia and other countries......"
A colonel-level officer and soldier walked up to the commander's office and reported.
The US military department, relying on its strong military strength and superb satellite technology, has carried out such covert military activities on more than one occasion. Although all countries use satellites to fly around the world, the United States undoubtedly has the most satellites, which can monitor any part of the earth.
At the same time, in addition to the United States, there are four other countries that can do it at the same time, covering the world with satellites! And to achieve global coverage with satellites, it must be a system composed of 24 satellites and ground equipment.
"Okay, I see, you now let the analysis team step up the analysis!" said the man in the general's uniform in the office with a wave of his hand.
Then the colonel-level soldier hurriedly passed on the commander's order, and then the relevant personnel immediately became nervous, all kinds of tools, pens and paper...... Echo each other on the display table!
Suddenly, a rush of sirens rang out throughout the command room.
In an instant, the entire conference room was in an orderly panic, everyone returned to their seats, and quickly operated on the computer in front of them, crackling keyboard tapping, and bursts of anxious phone calls rang out.
The sirens are like a grand symphony, but no one wants to hear them at the moment, because once the sirens sound, it means that something very urgent and important has happened!
"What's going on?" asked the Major General, who had hurried out of his office after hearing the siren, but when he heard the familiar siren, he knew something urgent was happening.
"Report to the General! We have a satellite in synchronous orbit that has just lost contact with our command and control system!" a controller reported.
"What? A satellite is out of touch?" The major general was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyebrows, how could a good satellite suddenly lose contact, could it be that something failed!
"Report General, yes, and one of our important communications satellites. The rapporteur said immediately.
"Check it for me, check it immediately!"
The major general jumped up as soon as he heard this, and communication satellites are not unimportant to the military; first of all, military communication satellites are artificial earth satellites that serve as space radio communication stations and undertake various communication tasks.
Moreover, satellite communication has the characteristics of long communication distance, large capacity, good quality, high reliability, strong confidentiality, good survivability, and flexibility, so it is widely favored by the military and other important institutions!
There are two types of communication satellites, including strategic communication satellites and tactical communication satellites. The former provides strategic communications on a global scale, while the latter provides tactical communications on a regional basis as well as mobile communications for military aircraft, ships and vehicles, as well as man-to-carry terminals.
For example, on February 10, 2009 at 11:55 a.m. EST, an Iridium-33 in the United States collided with Russia's defunct Cosmos-2251 satellite over Siberia, the first satellite collision accident in the history of the United States.
But a collision is a collision, and the most feared thing is that it will lose contact!
"Report to the Sir, the disconnection of the Distant 1 military communications satellite has been clarified!" the rapporteur reported.
"What's going on!" the Major General asked, with a happy face.
"Through the remote detection of the system, it was found that the lost Distant 1 satellite was operating in its original orbit, but after the operation command was sent by the system, it could not receive information, so we determined that our military communication satellite may have been hijacked by another country!" said the rapporteur.
"Hijacked, how is it possible?" the Major General looked incredulous when he heard this. Among several countries in the world, it is none other than the United States to determine whose satellite strength is the strongest, but there are several countries behind it, although they are not as good as the United States, but they are not far behind.
Could it be China or ......Russia? Major General General thought secretly in his heart. It shouldn't be so coincidental, we just carried out a satellite reconnaissance mission today, and we were hijacked by someone just after the end of our satellite, is it a warning? Or is it revenge?
As soon as this idea came out, the major general began to hesitate, and there are also countries with this strength, among which China and Russia are very suspicious, so the main targets of the previous satellite reconnaissance missions are these two countries, and these two countries have always been the henchmen of the United States!
"Activate the backup operating system and bring the lost satellites back online!" ordered the Major General.
"Yes, sir!"
The two soldiers then hurriedly sat down on a large machine and inserted the key at the same time, twisting its bearing. I saw that the center of the machine suddenly opened, and a new computer operation interface appeared in front of the two of them!
"Launch, GPSV long-range satellite operating system!
With the input of the two operators, the computer interface lights up, and the indicator light flashes rapidly......
