CHINA’S 22,370-MILE DECLASSIFIED SPY SATELLITE ALARMS US AFTER 18-MONTH SECRET REVEAL CHINA’S 22,370-MILE DECLASSIFIED SPY SATELLITE ALARMS US AFTER 18-MONTH SECRET REVEAL - Chinese scientists have officially disclosed the sophisticated technology behind Ludi Tance 4-01, the world’s first geosynchronous orbit synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite. Deployed in August 2023, Ludi operates at an altitude of 22,370 miles (36,000 km), granting China persistent surveillance over one-third of the Earth’s surface. This high-altitude system significantly surpasses US radar satellites, which remain confined to low Earth orbit.   More
