Providing internet from space and now very large SpaceX Starlink service is once again on the agenda today with news focused on China.
Many developments have been made so far regarding the SpaceX Starlink system and China in particular. The Starlink service is constantly growing, and this is causing concern in some countries. The system, which was also actively used to help Ukraine during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is a serious concern, especially in China. For example, the country had a plan last year to launch a system that would threaten their national security. It was stated that he wanted to develop some defense mechanisms. The first aim here was to shut down Spacex’s space internet network or render it unusable within China. In addition, all Starlink China, which also aims to develop special systems to track its satellites, says Starlink can be used for military purposes. Starlink, It is seen as a civilian system, but it is receiving investment from the US military and has a special package for institutions. Chinese scientists warn that Starlink could increase the communication speed of fighter jets and drones by more than 100 times. China also says that Starlink satellites could be equipped with different hardware in the future and Claims that the US can provide assistance in espionage/attack activities from space.

Now it has emerged that Chinese scientists are using Starlink signals to detect stealth aircraft and drones. According to the statement, stealth aircraft such as the F-22 and F-35 are aircraft designed to hide from traditional radar systems on the ground. For this reason, it is reported that these new generation war machines can be detected from space. Chinese scientists are for this It uses signals emitted from Starlink satellites. An object such as an aircraft or drone is said to be disrupting the electromagnetic waves coming from the satellite, causing minor signal disturbances. It is stated that the location of objects can be tracked precisely through the distortion in these signals.. It is said that a special algorithm is used here, the technology is reported to be still in the development phase and not ready for military use, has shown great potential It is stated.
China has another plan in this regard doing. China is planning to provide internet service from space to users around the world, researchers say Building a massive satellite network in low-Earth orbit to take Elon Musk’s Starlink to a level He stated that he planned to reach low earth orbit in a short time. China reportedly wants to send 13 thousand satellitesaccording to the information given ‘GW’ Within the scope of the project codenamed rival networks (Amazon is also building an internet system from space) can monitor and send satellites Can be used to conduct anti-Starlink missions.
Researchers say Starlink aims to place 40,000 satellites in orbit, a number that China’s surveillance and defense capabilities cannot handle. That’s why China, which wants to act early, is planning to place its own satellites in this low-earth orbit. can disrupt Starlink’s connections when needed And can use these satellites to monitor the entire world more comfortably and in detail.
