Yes. From your link..

As a propulsion system for orbit adjustion and maintenance as well as deorbiting, they use krypton-fueled Hall thrusters. The satellites are designed autonomously avoid collisions based on uplinked tracking data. At the end of life, the Starlink satellites are to be actively deorbited, leading to reentry.

As I said, please research the subject you are commenting on. Impartial or wrong information can - and does - lead to false conclusions and convictions.

That is an irresponsible and dangerous behaviour of SpaceX and US Space administration ignoring their treaty obligation to ensure the peaceful use of outer space. I condemn such rogue activities that endanger the Chinese Space Station and its Crew.

My post is intentionally in reference to the earlier noises of "uncontrolled reentry" of CZ-5B core and Tiangong, and the Russian anti-sat test. The disgusting thing is that the Americans were so "concerned" that the Russian test endangers China's station (which is far far away) while SpaceX' act that forced China's station to move did not bother them.

Hypocritical anglo rule of order. Shows the malicious and disgusting nature of their rules.

Could we have a separate thread for space debris and whatever it is SpaceX thinks it's doing? This thread is getting cluttered up with junk, much like near space is. Thankfully, forums are much easier to clean than orbits.

Starlink is dual use, its to give CIA assets around the world access to communication that cannot be intercepted/etc by host nations their spies have infritrated (think US Navy TOR project but much larger and hardware vs just software implementation) and also to give US leverage to takedown (like drone swarms) the satellites of other nations either under guise of plausible denialability or just straight up overt action if it came down to it...its basically setting up automous mobile landmines in space... Elon Musk is definetly a CIA frontman just like the Howard Hughes of his day

Be that as it may, the title of this thread is "China's space program...". I don't care what Elon Musk and the CIA are doing, I care what CNSA is doing.

The Starlink satellites in question weigh ~250 kilograms and are equipped with hall effect ion thrusters. How do you think they reach their respective plane/slot of operation and conduct station keeping?

Please research the subject you are commenting on. A good starter.

I think the problem is SpaceX didn't or can't respond(wolf amendment) to the CNSA. Starlink satellites with thrusters simply made it worse to predict their course. Without communcation, the CSS just have to evade. I remember there is an incident happend to ESA, also no respond from SpaceX.
