The United Kingdom has reportedly employed jamming technology against satellites to counter hostile threats, signaling a new phase in space defense.
This development comes amid escalating concerns over China's ambitions in space, with a former NASA chief warning that Beijing's lunar exploration plans are aimed at achieving strategic dominance. The growing militarization and competition in orbit are further highlighted by a European report detailing serious alarms about the increasing risk of orbital collisions, potentially rendering certain orbital paths unusable.
