Satellites need self-defence zones: a keep-out rule around them is the only workable arms control in orbit.Their words
We accordingly proposed a framework of self-defense zones to “facilitate unilateral defense against a surprise attack on satellites.”

This raises public concerns that, at this late date, DoD might not have such a specification, whether classified or unclassified, even for its own internal use.

Based on public commercial data that tells a lot about the military potential of these dual-use robotic spacecraft, we have shown that China can manufacture and deploy 200 such spacecraft as early as 2026, enough to cripple critical US satellites in geosynchronous, highly elliptical, and other orbits, and thus severely degrading space support to wartime operations.

Dual-use robotic servicing spacecraft, not missiles or lasers, will be the anti-satellite weapon of choice.Their words
Dual-use robotic spacecraft will soon become the anti-satellite weapon of choice for mounting this attack.

Their words
If a Chinese spacecraft can dock with a friendly satellite to refuel, repair, or transport it, the same robotic arm can also disable a US satellite’s solar panels and antennas.
