All this ASAT chatter on the X37-B thread made me think of another scenario.
State-sponsored terrorist threat to commercial satellite infrastructure. aka how to deploy ASAT weapons against GEO satellites? For kinetic kill weapons, you'd want to launch in a elliptical orbit that crosses through GEO. You'd open the kill devices to form a tubular shaped cloud that crosses GEO, intersecting at four regions in space. You'd want the angle of intersection to be as parallel as possible to maximize relative velocity and the angle of attack. One could also launch weapons in multiples of these orbits to increase the number of 'kill cylinders'. The only usefulness of such orbits would be for a weapons system. Should we get busy on a treaty now? Dave |
