Killer satellites and their connection with hackers and espionage.
There are two types of killer-satellites. Satellites, what crushes the targeted satellite. And the devices what capture other satellite and then return them to ground, or start to control captured system. During this process, the entire data of that satellite is routed through the hijacker's data links. Those systems are created for the capturing the satellites wrecks, what is not answering the commands, what ground stations are giving to it. But those systems can be used against the operating satellites, and they can use to steal other satellites from the orbital trajectory and return it to Earth for research.
The special satellites that are equipped with a so-called "kill device", and the second one are regular satellites, which just collide with other satellites. There is also created devices, which are just pushing satellite away it's trajectory. The gently push would deny the formation of the debris, and that makes the process safer if the satellite is rotating very fast. The device just pushes dangerous satellite to the atmosphere, and there is no debris left behind it.
Systems that are just capturing satellites are avoiding increasing the number of space garbage. Those satellites are like garbage cans, which are flying to target satellite, and then that satellite would just crush to tank, where it can return to Earth. Those satellites can be equipped with lasers and manipulator hands, which can cut the satellites and especially the solar panels and deny that those pieces are flying away.
But there is another kind of system, what is looking like Pelican Fish, and maybe some UFO sightings are caused by those satellite capture devices. The system would be like some saucer or net, which closes the satellites inside them, and in some futuristic versions, the satellites could capture by this kind of system secretly. Then the communication of the captured satellite will route through the router of hijacker
And this makes possible that the communication of satellite, which is closed in the EMP-protected tank will be fully controlled. And the thing that denies that the original operators of the captured satellites notice that thing is to cover the tank with extremely sharp screens, where is shown the film, what looks like outside. That allows also give false images for image recon satellites, and maybe somebody has got that kind of system.
What if hackers capture satellite?
In real life, every satellite is a killer satellite, and this is the reason, why we must realize the risks of hacking. If the guidance system of the satellite is badly protected, that would cause the situation that hackers would accidentally or in purpose turn on the motors, and then the satellite would turn to a different trajectory. And that could cause an impact to other satellites. The thing is that by using hackers every single satellite can turn ammunition, and what makes this thing problematic is that the hacker can use every satellite for this purpose. So, in this case, the key element is that the satellite, which would turn to ammunition would have every nationality in the world.
The targets of that kind of attack, where the captured satellites are used as the destruction devices can target especially to communication and navigation satellites. And when we are thinking about threat, what this kind of strike causes, the thing is that the nation, what makes that operation must not have own space program. It can just capture some satellites in their control and then start to use them against other satellites. So the new threat on the battlefield is hacking.
If hackers can capture satellites they can simply push them to the atmosphere, and even if they cannot use them to deliver false information, they can make massive damages to the positioning and communication systems. If many satellites, what is operating those expensive systems are dropped from the skies, the replacement of those satellites takes time, and in that process, every communication code and code keys must be changed. And that must be done in some other way than sending them by using the data network.
This takes time, and when many physical satellites are damaged or out of order, there must be enough backup satellites for replacing the hole in the system. And one thing, that can make very bad damages to the satellite is that somebody puts the satellite in the rotating movement. If the propellant tanks of the satellite run empty, there is no way to stop the rotation movement. Then the solar panels of this device would rip off, and those bites can get to the trajectory, where it would impact with other satellites.
The worst scenario is that the satellite would face is that it rotates very fast, and nothing can touch it. If the rotation movement cannot be ended, the situation requires that the satellite must crush by using the ASAT (Anti-Satellite) weapon(1). And that will increase the number of garbage in the orbital trajectory.
