Chinese 'space cleaner' throws old satellite away – DW – 02/09/2022

Last month, a private satellite tracking company spotted a Chinese spacecraft apparently grabbing and throwing a dead satellite away into a "graveyard" orbit.

China can grab satellites in space now and throw them in graveyard orbit. This is a huge jump in asymmetric capability. Does any other country have this capability ?

If not China has a trump card on their hand. They have a way to take out enemy satellites, without using ASAT's (ASAT's are super dangerous to use since the debris can take out your own satellite).

Are we fucked ?

Not a lot of information about ins-2d available. It's is testbed for thermal imaging sats that will be used by Bhutan. Isn't that "thermal imaging " tech is used by osint satellites. Where will Bhutanese use it on " doklam"
