Space wars, the first satellite carrier
Souce
The mini space shuttle or space drone, because it is actually unmanned that the United States has and is a military ship, returned on March 7 after spending 434 days in orbit of the Earth and many of its missions and experiments are secret, although it gives some propaganda and shows photos and reports when it lands and gives some data, and that China also has another similar ship, not to say a copy.
It turns out that on March 23, the image above was published, it is from the space company that is going to be in charge of building this curious ship, it is going to be the first satellite carrier or spacecraft carrier, I don't know what term to give it, let's say orbital spacecraft carrier because ships will be inside it.
It is an idea for a military issue, in the event of a conflict the United States considers the possibility that some of its critical communications or espionage or military satellites in general, could be neutralized by the potential enemy and the problem they wanted to solve with this ship, is in the event of elimination or blocking of a satellite immediately replace it in some way.
Unfortunately, replacing a space satellite takes time and I think that the fastest they can do it is in 3 months, a specific satellite for a specific service and launch it into space, with this ship what they want is to have several spare satellites inside it and already in space, so if a satellite is knocked out by the enemy, this ship would simply open its doors and send the corresponding satellite into space to replace the satellite that fell in the act of service.

What I don't understand about this story is if the enemy knocks out this ship, how do they solve it? It will have to be a coated or strengthened ship or in some way armored to prevent it from being knocked out by an enemy ship, but at the moment it is the plan and they already have a contract to build it, it would be the first space ship.
I believe that this will not be the final design, personally I think that it will have some defense system to prevent other ships from approaching,
perhaps with a laser or some special defense or shielding system, in the press release they said that one of the possibilities or weapons to knock out satellites would be by means of a laser on the ground, that is, the enemy would launch a laser and knock out the specific satellite that he wants to knock out, that he wants to knock out, if it is necessary to have to shoot it down, he could take it out of orbit or he could simply cancel its operating system.
So this ship should also have some system or shielding that would prevent that from happening. Apart from this, it turns out that on March 23, this news was published where the Pentagon detected five Chinese spacecraft that were carrying out a simulated combat operation in space, in the style of Star Wars. At the moment they are in this story, designing tactical ships, one of the fundamental problems in knocking out an enemy satellite is that you cannot destroy it or it would not be convenient to destroy it because destroying it would generate a lot of debris. dangerous for other satellites and the so-called Kessler syndrome occurs.
