Orion Cyber Attack: Threats in Space

Recent Russian and Chinese aggressions bode ill for the future of American military security.

It was a progression of the Russians’ development of kinetic satellite killers, including hunter-killer satellites. The Chinese have been developing and testing such weapons since at least 2007. (The Chinese are also developing ground-based laser anti-satellite weapons.)
