Military space & satellites
New technology
Satellites guide missiles and soldiers (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou), carry military communications, take reconnaissance images and give early warning of missile launches. Modern armed forces depend on them every minute.
Several countries — the USA, Russia, China and India — have tested weapons that can destroy satellites, and some have created separate space forces.
