An ongoing military exercise happening hundreds of miles above Earth has—for the first time in an unclassified setting—demonstrated how future satellites might evade and pursue one another in a future conflict.
That was the announcement Wednesday from True Anomaly, one of the companies involved in the exercise. True Anomaly’s Panther satellite, also known as Panther, played the cat-and-mouse game with another spacecraft named Puma, based on Rocket Lab’s Pioneer satellite platform.
« This is what we’ve really been building towards for the past four years, » said Even Rogers, True Anomaly’s co-founder and CEO.
