Assessing China’s Military Space Capacities
| Date | Thursday, November 10, 2005 |
| Location | Senate Capitol, SC6 |
Dr. Gregory Kulacki, Senior Analyst and China Project Manager at the Union of Concerned Scientists, will join us for a discussion on China's Military Space Capabilities. In its recently released annual report The Military Power of the People's Republic of China, the U.S. Department of Defense states that China has developed and tested an advanced anti-satellite (ASAT) system. Dr. Kulacki has analyzed the original Chinese-language source documents and his research poses serious questions about the quality of the information and the sources of US intelligence. Are the Chinese developing anti-satellite systems? What do we know about Chinese military capabilities and intentions in space? What are the implications for intelligence collection and analysis?
