The Pentagon is worried it could be preparing for an attack
- Cosmos 2542 is a Russian ‘space apparatus inspector’ designed to monitor other satellites in space
- After it launched in November 2019, it was bypassing a US spy satellite, USA 245, every 11 or 12 days
- However, between January 20-23, Cosmos 2542 made several maneuvers to end up in the same orbit as the US satellite
- It is now closely following USA 245, which experts say could mean it is taking photos or preparing to attack

A Russian ‘inspector’ spacecraft has changed its orbit to closely follow a secret American spy satellite.
On January 20, Cosmos 2542 maneuvered so it was behind USA 245, a satellite that gathers images for military and intelligence purposes for the $4billion KH-11 photo reconnaissance project.
The Russian craft is a ‘space apparatus inspector,’ meaning it’s designed to monitor other satellites in space – and the US government has warned that it can use cameras and sensors to gather information about other satellites or even use high-power microwaves, lasers or radio frequency jammers to launch an attack.
Something to potentially watch: Cosmos 2542, a Russian inspection satellite, has recently synchronized its orbit with USA 245, an NRO KH11.

Russian ‘inspector’ spacecraft Cosmsos 2542 appears to have changed orbits so it can closely follow American spy satellite USA 245. Pictured: Cosmos 2542 following USA 245
Cosmos 2542 was launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome – some 600 miles north of Moscow – on November 25, 2019.
At the time, the government claimed only other Russian satellites would be inspected.
‘The spacecraft, created on the basis of a unified multifunctional space platform, is launched into the target orbit from which the state of domestic satellites can be monitored,’ according to a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense.
‘The optical equipment of the spacecraft also allows you to take pictures of the Earth’s surface.’
When the satellite first launched, its original orbit meant it would pass USA 245 every 11 or 12 days. according to Michael Thompson, a graduate student studying satellites and astrodynamics.
In a Twitter thread, Thomspon explained how the Russian satellite innocuously moved closer to the American one.
He says the satellites closely approached each other on January 21.
‘But instead of then drifting away as usual, Cosmos 2542 performed a series of maneuvers on the 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd to match the period of USA 245,’ he wrote.
This means that instead of passing each other every two weeks, the Russian satellite is right behind the American spycraft.
‘Cosmos 2542 is loitering around USA 245 in consistent view,’ Thomspon tweeted on Thursday.
‘As I’m typing this, that offset distance shifts between 150 and 300 kilometers [93.2 and 186.4 miles] depending on the location in the orbit.’
With such a close range, it allows Cosmos 2542 to take numerous photographs of USA 245.
‘The relative orbit is actually pretty cleverly designed,’ Thompson wrote.
‘Cosmos 2542 can observe one side of the KH-11 when both satellites first come into sunlight, and by the time they enter eclipse, it has migrated to the other side.
‘This is all circumstantial evidence, but there are a hell of a lot of circumstances that make it look like a known Russian inspection satellite is currently inspecting a known US spy satellite.’
Neither the Russian government nor the US government have commented on the satellites.
Vlad To USSA: “Check!”
HAHAHAHA!!!
Perfect set up for a false flag- Russia blew up my satellite.
Don’t fall for the lies. Satellites do not go to space, it is impossible ! They don’t go there any way at all they go to earth “atmosphere” orbit ! The same place the ISS goes to.
First of all we do not have any alloys that can withstand the temperatures in the upper atmosphere.
The thermosphere is typically about 200° C (360° F) hotter in the daytime than at night, and roughly 500° C (900° F) hotter when the Sun is very active than at other times. Temperatures in the upper thermosphere can range from about 500° C (932° F) to 2,000° C (3,632° F) or higher. https://scied.ucar.edu/shortcontent/thermosphere-overview / https://www.windows2universe.org/earth/Atmosphere/thermosphere_temperature.html

Bloostar—launching satellites via balloon Recently, on May 20th, 2016, Zero2infinity lofted Aistech’s first satellite into the upper atmosphere, aboard its sub-orbital platform in near space balloon system. Zero2infinity uses these Near Space balloons to carry client payloads up above 99% of the Earth’s atmosphere. This is a cheap and effective way to get payloads into a very space-like environment. [ close but no cigar ] https://phys.org/news/2016-09-bloostarlaunching-satellites-balloon.html
Explained: “Satellite” crashing attached to a balloon [Google’s Project Loon] Something that has recently been presented as evidence of faking the space program, or even of a “Flat Earth” is the occasional discovery of what looks like a crashed satellite, but one that has more gracefully descended to Earth on a balloon. One such example is the video “Satellite crashes in Brazil – attached to a balloon – Nasa lies, research Flat Earth” https://www.metabunk.org/threads/explained-satellite-crashing-attached-to-a-balloon-

Thank God I’m not mad…on 30th at between 20h00 and 20h30 I was east of Johannesburg south Africa when I saw a regular flashing in the sky. I’d seen a strange satellite the night before and took a chance and there was something that appeared to change direction slightly.
I mentioned it to a few friends and they all agreed that I need a holiday…
Thanks guys for being possibly the only sane people left in the Western world.
Betelgeuse.
The “USA” no longer exists, only the Golem.
Russia is the last hope.
If Russia fails, everybody will be a negro-mongrel, sucking Zionist Jew dick.
Just imagine a planet of low tier mongrels with mongrel stupid culture under 24/7 surveillance to force everybody to bow down to George Soros-like types?
A kind of Palestine-like California (or ghetto of Paris? Baltimore?), with misused and abused shadowy technology and economic terrorism…
We may be going from free countries to a new Soviet Union in global scale…
Activisor: no evidence. The US has had a strange unmanned spacecraft up in orbit for a few years and no one knows what it’s up to. This Russian craft and its maneuvering is just a warning to the US. No way would you follow and shoot, only to fly through the debris field. Better to attack in a parallel orbit IMHO. The Russians are letting the US know that their Skynet system is fundamentally weak.
OMG. The Russians are moving a satellite. Big time news.
AIPAC Government cannot sleep anymore.
Bolton, Pompeo, Brennan, Clapper, Harper, Comey, Pentagon are waiting for BiBibaba’s orders what actions to take.
Could it be a first space war? ‘What drones as Pompy promised and actions like in comic books or the Simpsons?
For the alleged warcrime chief of the zionists, one world is not enough.
May we hope he will be locked up save in jail. It is a beginning, ain’t it?
This is all nothing but science fiction nonsense brought to you by the Daily Mail. There are no satellites in what they call “space”. I would bet that ($21.5 billion dollars a year of our tax money) NASA has something to do with this fake story. Not that NASA would ever lie about anything, especially that little thing 50 years ago called the moon landing.
Oh nice one Vova ! Scramble it !
@Truthy1 You seem to be quite enlightened. There is no “space”, we live on flat earth in a dome, we get our internet via subterranean cables, NASA is part of the MKultra mind control program masterminded and headed by Henry Kissenger
If satellites don’t go into space then how come I can see them with the physical eye and follow their paths. Every night you’ll see 4 at the minimum even my cat looks at them. So what is happening here?
It is no secret both the Russians and Chinese dominate space and have done for nearly a decade as the Rand organization alerted us to this fact about the same time.
The yanks have got the technology they just can’t produce the quantities needed on this front. This and Russian space jamming is ahead of the game so this is a warning and a simple telescope could verify it unless telescopes are a device to fool the eye, but not one has ever lied to me. However who knows what they are really doing up there.
Russia will not fail it has the weight of the 160 non aligned(to the west)countries behind it.
Propaganda comes in many ways there is always be an once of truth mixed in with the kilo of rubbish. And you don’t need “They Live” style glasses to filter the shit, you just need awareness.
Truthy1 – you have to remember that the air density up where the temperature is so hot is close to vacuum – so the air molecules do indeed have high energy – which is the definition of high temperature – but there are so few of them they cause essentially no damage.
So satellites DO fly in space, and CAN fly to the Moon and back: the “high temperature” high in the Earth’s atmosphere is no barrier to space travel.
