Is Russia Maneuvering to Threaten an Iceye Satellite?

- snowpid 4mo agoWhy should the American government, quite critical about the Ukrainian government, use Finish satellites for this?
- yread 4mo agodoes everyone who gets photographed by a satellite get an "absolute right" to destroy the satellite then? Bit of a slippery glidy no-fun slope
- vitally3643 4mo agoWhen those photographs are used to commit acts of war, yeah
- yread 4mo agoshh there is no "war"
- inglor_cz 4mo agoNot even Putin is stupid enough to attack American satelites openly, regardless of his "absolute right".
- echoangle 4mo ago> Russia is trying to determine if the US is useing these particular satelites for real time targeting and weapons direction on Russians, in Russia, which if true,then makes it there absolute right to destroy the sattelite weapons systems, and legaly target there operators, wherever they might be. Would that actually be true? How does delayed vs realtime change if they are legitimate targets?
- metalman 4mo agoone is meerly satelite info that is evaulated for strategic or even tactical information use, the other is a literal weapons system component used for killing humans,in a situation that would otherwise be impossible without the satelite, which is an act of war, ie: "killchain", with no proxy , but the false claim of lack of resonsibility. the case in point likely involves drones that are fired from mainland europe into russia, with complete american command and control, but atributed to ukrain, which if russia can prove conclusivly, will then have consequences, legal and military, though of course, as usual, everybody will blame somebody else, and nobody will admit anything

- leephillips 4mo agoWhat are these units relating the rate of use of fuel: m/s? Is it the velocity of expelled reaction gas?
- inhumantsar 4mo agoI think that's delta-v.
- leephillips 4mo agoI’ll take your word for it; I’m not familiar with satellite-speak. But to me, “In this case, the fuel required to conduct such a maneuver is ~105-106m/sec” means that they’re talking about a quantity of fuel, but giving a velocity.
- pants2 4mo agoGiven that USA has 10X the number of orbital launches as Russia, sacrificing 4 satellites to destroy 1 American sat doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
