House Science and Technology Chair Gordon Comments on Reported Chinese ASAT Test

“I am deeply concerned about the reported Chinese anti-satellite test. I believe that it is ill-advised for a number of reasons: it is destabilizing; the debris cloud created as a result of the test increases the risk to civil and commercial satellites; and the test fosters an environment that will make it more difficult to consider potential cooperation with China in civil space activities. I hope that this will be the last such test to occur.”

Markey Denounces Chinese Missile Test – Calls on Bush Administration to Strike Agreement to Ban Future Tests

“The Chinese anti-satellite test is terrible news for international stability and security, and could presage the dawn of a new arms race — this time in space,” Rep. Markey said. “American satellites are the soft underbelly of our national security, and it is urgent that President Bush move to guarantee their protection by initiating an international agreement to ban the development, testing, and deployment of space weapons and anti-satellite systems.”
