Rogozin accused private companies in the United States of transmitting data from Ukrainian army satellites.
Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said US private companies were collecting both visual and radar data from space to give Ukraine the data needed to guide the missiles. On Saturday, June 18, the TASS report.
According to him, US space infrastructure and services, including leading operators that have created algorithms for capturing fluid, highly detailed images of the Earth, are being used by the Pentagon.
“Both Lockheed Martin, and Boeing, and other companies, also privately, such as SpaceX, are now connected to solve a particular task – to ensure the collection of information in real time,” Rogozin said.
He noted that the data was collected both visually – by infrared radar devices, and by conventional surveillance. This, according to Rogozin, is being done to enable the Ukrainian Armed Forces to use the data cloud for targeting ballistic missiles or for operating multiple launch rocket systems.
Along with other companies, Rogozin named the Starlink global satellite system SpaceX. According to him, the company imported equipment to the subscriber in Ukraine to the work of the Pentagon, and then distributed the dishes to units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“This equipment receives the signal, provides broadband Internet access and controls unmanned systems and the actions of units in areas without cellular coverage,” Rogozin said.
He added that Russia’s satellites “can also observe the territory of Ukraine through the scientific center for monitoring the operation of the Earth.”
It will be recalled that Twitter temporarily blocked the account of Roscosmos leader Dmitry Rogozin due to a message insulting to Ukraine.
