This summer, US Space Force is set to launch satellites to track Chinese or Russian space vehicles that can potentially disable or damage orbiting objects.
According to the Space Force and analysts, dubbed ‘Silent Barker’, the network of satellites would be the first of its kind to complement ground-based sensors and low-earth orbit satellites.
The satellites will be placed about 35,400 kilometers above the Earth and at the same speed it rotates, known as geosynchronous orbit.
The Space Force is developing the satellites with the National Reconnaissance Office or NRO.
