China's Secret Satellite Rendezvous 'Suggestive of a Military Program
http://feeds.wired.com/~r/wired/index/~3/-1HfERcgJaA/
A pair of Chinese satellites have met in orbit. It's either a sign of China's increasingly sophisticated space program or a sign of its increasingly sophisticated space warfare program.

Or Both! Jim KQ6EA
IMHO starting to have political commentary on this forum is going down the wrong road and inappropriate

I agree, especially since China expressed the fact that they will be orbiting a space station soon and rendezvous and docking is a necessary technology. These are exciting times, more space projects and more orbiting technology.

I found it totally relevant to the amateur satellite world. Hams are involved watching/tracking these missions. And it makes for fascinating reading.
" ... removing space debris, refueling satellites or repairing craft in orbit ... " are what similar missions have accomplished in the past.
There's a in-depth review of the "occurrence" in The Space Review ...

Heck, even they believe that "The perception of how this technology is being developed, and what it is being used for, is extremely important.”
