China has created a device to combat space debris

It is reported that China has created a dual-purpose device to combat space debris

Chinese scientists have developed a unique launch device to clear space debris from orbit.

The device launches a capsule with a net that captures debris and directs it into the atmosphere to burn up.

A small modification could turn this system into a weapon against satellites.

This was reported by an anonymous Beijing astrophysicist to the South China Morning Post.

According to him, such an attack would look like a natural equipment failure.

Experts note that the technology demonstrates dual potential—from peaceful debris disposal to covert anti-satellite applications.
