Russia will reveal secrets about the US military satellites – Dni.Ru

Russia has offered to create a worldwide database of space objects. As a gesture of goodwill, Moscow publish it accumulated information on them, including on US military satellites, France, Japan and other countries.

The Russian catalog of near-Earth objects will be the only service, which will include information not only on civil satellites and space debris, but also on objects of military, the newspaper “Izvestia”. So far a monopoly on the “Cruise control” in the near-Earth space has the United States. They have a catalog, it is called NORAD. It is hidden information on US military satellites and their allies – France, Germany, Israel and Japan.
 

The United Nations has supported the initiative of Russia, China. The United States, for obvious reasons, have opposed. “The Americans can not worry about the declassification of orbital data of its military spacecraft – it will happen in any case”, – said the head of the Russian delegation at the 59th session of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes.
 

As a result, despite the recriminations of the parties on the preparation of an arms race in outer space, spying from orbit and other aggressive actions, solution to the problem of orbital debris is still trying to find. “The creation of such a platform would be an important step in international cooperation in space Space debris -. This is a problem worldwide and applies to all the same way as the asteroid-comet hazard applies to all countries, rather than any one in the case of the space of a real threat to be addressed.. question will have all together. Therefore, the formation of a unified database, collaborative tools eventually would strengthen security throughout the world. Possible concerns that someone contribute less and someone more to my mind, be overcome. ” – Says a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Cosmonautics Tsiolkovsky.
 

Space debris – a human waste, as well as celestial objects stuck in Earth orbit or not fully burned in the atmosphere. Most of them consist of inactive satellites and their launch systems residues.
