  To ensure the future of high-tech war to win, the Chinese military is to develop asymmetrical combat theory, the key areas of intent by the enemy "pinpoint attack" full paralysis Hwan enemy combat systems. Ability to develop space war in which moderate, with a reliable anti-satellite means in turn is an important part of this theory, in which case the world's most threatening anti-satellite evil evil - parasitic star finally turned out to China.
  The so-called parasitic star is a party have been put in by the can Jifu enemy satellites in the micro satellite. It has side during the war according to the instructions of the corresponding interference and destroy enemy satellites.
  As a new concept of anti-satellite weapon, mainly by the parasitic star of this system, the parent star / vehicles, and the corresponding command and control equipment components.
  (1) parasitic star star is usually due to parasitic Jifu enemy satellites in wartime to attack them before, which requires the parasitic star of small size and quality should be done in order to avoid affecting each other in times of peace the normal satellite work in advance to stimulate unnecessary conflicts. Parasitic satellite into the main shopping include: a star part, to hold a variety of devices. b solar panels and batteries, used to provide electricity. c computer system used to control the computer's operation. d ccd cameras and communication systems, satellite imagery is used to return the enemy's ground controllers for the parasitic enemy satellites in a fixed satellite location-specific, and timely instructions to receive attack. e micro-propulsion system, used to push the enemy satellite by the parasite into the star and attached to it. f Jifu equipment which is unique to the parasitic star of equipment for the parasitic connection between the star and the enemy satellites. The most common! Connection method is to use a miniature mechanical claws to seize the enemy satellite specific parts, the other can also consider using a special glue stick to the parasitic star enemy satellites. g-borne parasitic satellite warhead which is to attack enemy satellites parts can be divided into soft and hard-kill warhead warhead two. Soft warhead allows temporary incapacitation enemy satellites, to be lifted after the crisis the enemy of compromise and allow their return to normal work. Soft kill of the way there are many, such as electronic interference. As the parasitic star on the enemy satellite, so only a small interference power can be completely masked enemy satellite signals received by upload, it does not work even complete paralysis. This soft-kill methods against the enemy communications satellites, data relay satellite, radar / electronic reconnaissance satellites and other very effective. Also you can use aluminum foil shaped balloon against the enemy observation satellite window, shielded antenna signal, such means can be used against soft kill early-warning satellites, optical reconnaissance satellites, navigation satellites; hard warhead for enemy satellites to conduct a thorough eliminated. The easiest way is to use explosives to blow crushing enemy satellites. Can also be cut, drilling methods to scrap key components, which will not produce excessive debris and garbage. Although the parasitic star looks perfectly formed, but due to a large number of microelectronics and MEMS technology used, the weight of the parasitic star general only a few kilograms to more than ten kilograms, small can be only a few hundred grams.
  (2) the parent star / launcher parent star / function is to carry the parasitic star guard was near to the enemy. Because the parasitic star of their own mobility is limited, it is difficult to rely directly into enemy satellites. ! Change according to hit the satellite's orbit is different from the parent star / launch vehicle with a variety of sizes and specifications, they have sufficient mobility. If only attack a single satellite, then the parent star / launch vehicle usually with only 1-2 pieces of parasitic star, if the attack on a track satellites (such as orbit and constellation) are available a few large female star to carry ten to a few stray pieces of the track star to drift the way in order to run. The mother during an attack of high rail satellite signal repeaters can be installed as a parasitic satellite ground station communications with the intermediary.
  (3) ground control system is the role of ground control systems: detection, identification, to determine the enemy's satellites; parasitic stars and their parent stars where the satellite launched into orbit of the enemy; further guidance by the parasite into the star and eventually its fixed enemy satellites in specific parts: the later inclusion of the parasitic star combat duty status, in the event of a major crisis when the instructions according to the highest authorities to interfere and destroy enemy satellites.
  Second, the parasitic star can deal with many types of satellites.
  From low orbit to high orbit, civilian army to use, from a single star to the constellation, no matter what the satellite can be controlled and parasitic satellite attack. Communications satellites, early warning satellites, navigation satellites, reconnaissance satellites, radar / satellite electronic interference, or even space stations, space-based laser cannon ... ... no matter how advanced they are parasitic star locked as long as all escape war was instantly paralyzed and destruction fate.
  Third, the parasitic star can be used for multiple countries.
  Regardless of which country and region, with China as long as they have the possibility of a conflict of interest can be used to control parasitic star of their satellite systems: both the United States, NATO or the United States / Asia-Pacific allies - Britain, France, Japan, Australia , and even some commercial satellite organizations.
  Fourth, the use of parasitic star of several principles.
  1, strong-willed, and flexible approach for those without nuclear / space capabilities we can afford to put on their satellite system parasitic star. For the United States is not, we must first try to put hidden, and secondly to try to deny it. Again you can reach certain agreements parasitic star: If the direction of the two countries are allowed to own satellite delivery of the parasitic star; or China does not put the U.S. space system parasitic stars, but the United States must abandon the policy of China to the enemy to give up strategic missile plan, otherwise China will not hesitate! Because China's will is clear: either the common benefit, or do better than anyone. We will not sit by and watch the United States has a unilateral, one-sided absolute advantage.
  2, the strength of the foundation, the Chinese nuclear power if the space of a full delivery system is their due when parasitism considerable star power to verify, (at least 500 or so intercontinental nuclear warheads) for which China will accelerate the deployment of nuclear forces .
  3, only the nuclear / aerospace double powers Japan to get involved if China's satellite launch attempt of the parasitic satellite, then China will be drastic to stop waving the nuclear stick, because Japan is just a non-nuclear countries. Although other nuclear / space-faring nations launch satellites in China can be that does not endanger the parasitic star of China's national interests, because China pursues a policy of not seeking to dominate the multi-polar power, and China in the foreseeable future, the number of satellites and Quality can not keep up! United States, China is more willing to see the balance.
  4, normal delivery, wartime if the war occurs, then wait until the deployment of significant parasitic star will not.
  Fifth, the parasitic star has a unique advantage.
  1, rapid response, as long as good as pre-deployed, parasitic star within tens of seconds can be paralyzed and destroy the enemy's satellite system, which no other anti-satellite weapons can not match.
  2, against the extent controllable, able to adapt to a variety of crises both parasitic star of a particular satellite can destroy the enemy against the implementation of all satellite systems, both satellite enemy interference and the implementation of temporary paralysis and can completely destroy enemy satellites. This flexibility makes excellent use of the parasitic star applicable to various crises, from a diplomatic war of words to full nuclear war to show that it can be divinity.
  3, low-cost, better cost-effective manufacturing cost of the parasitic star to only one percent of the normal satellite / one-thousandth, and thus attack the enemy with its satellite has an excellent cost-effective. Also, China's two reusable liquid rocket launch is just around the corner, will also be a significant reduction in parasitic star of the deployment costs.
  Sixth, China's deployment of the parasitic star of great significance.
  1, contribute to the strategic balance between major powers large and comprehensive implementation of the global aerospace system in the United States operations, information operations, an important support, but also the establishment of a key node in the information society, once the space system is another big country star with the parasitic control, the overall U.S. military will inevitably be greatly reduced, which helps the balance between the great powers.
  2, helps to maximize the national interests of China's star will be possible parasitic dramatically change the military balance between China and the U.S., once the Taiwan Strait region and the region surrounding the war in China, the United States will not dare to intervene. Furthermore, if China's aerospace control systems will form the world's "only China moving hands, shaking the world will shake three" super-deterrent capability.
  If the United States strongly speculation "Star Wars / nmd" is just on paper, then China has been silent in the days of war in advance to the real effective operation stage, its impact remains to be seen exactly how to ... ...
  This program a few years ago I was sent to the relevant national departments. China Academy of Space Technology is now a small satellite developed by the parasitic satellite has completed ground tests, will likely conduct a pilot deployment in the near future. It is believed that the Philippines Ma Buhai synchronous communications satellite and inkonos's commercial satellites will be the first object to be tested.
