The media claims that this installation could disrupt or even damage satellites operating in low Earth orbit, in particular Starlink.
It is reported that the length of the product is 4 m and its weight is 5 tons.
The installation is compact enough to be placed on trucks, warships, airplanes or even satellites, the Chinese publication indicated.
Previously, similar systems could operate continuously for no more than three seconds and were much more cumbersome, the South China Morning Post emphasized.
In China, the Starlink network has been called a strategic threat and, according to media reports, they are thinking about attacks on them with a laser.
Context
Starlink is a project of a system of near-Earth satellites from Musk’s SpaceX company for cheap and high-speed Internet. The US Federal Communications Commission has given SpaceX permission to launch 12 thousand satellites of this type, created for a full-scale network providing the inhabitants of the Earth with broadband Internet access anywhere on the globe.
