SPACE.com -- China's Anti-Satellite Test: Worrisome Debris Cloud Circles Earth
by bucy at 4:48 pm EST, Feb 5, 2007

The flotsam created by China’s anti-satellite test last month is on the radar screens of space debris analysts, as well as space policy experts.

The intentional destruction on Jan. 11 of China’s Fengyun-1C weather satellite via an anti-satellite (ASAT) device launched by the Chinese has created a mess of fragments fluttering through space.

The satellite’s destruction is now being viewed as the most prolific and severe fragmentation in the course of five decades of space operations.
