Russian Luch satellites could spy on European space communications<\/h2>\n

Russian Luch-1 and Luch-2 satellites could conduct electronic reconnaissance and intercept signals from European spacecraft. This was reported by Financial Times<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em> citing data from Western security services.<\/p>\n

According to the publication, both satellites have been performing Suspicious manoeuvres in geostationary orbit<\/strong>, It is dangerously close to European communications apparatuses serving Europe, the UK, Africa and the Middle East.<\/p>\n

\n

Dangerous convergences in orbit<\/h3>\n

In particular, the Luch-2 satellite, after its launch in 2023 approached at least 17 European satellites<\/strong> and could stay with them for several weeks.<\/p>\n

Such manoeuvres have caused concern in Western intelligence, as such behaviour not typical for civilian communication spacecraft<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Possible targets of Russian devices<\/h3>\n

Analysts suggest that the main goal was to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    signal interception<\/strong> between the Earth and the satellites;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    access to systems that do not yet have full control encryption<\/strong>;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    potential opportunity send fake commands<\/strong>, The company's operations are also aimed at changing the orbit of the spacecraft or disabling them;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    collecting data for jamming signals and cyber attacks from ground-based systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In theory, such actions could even lead to falling satellites<\/strong> or loss of control over them.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Context.<\/h3>\n

    In recent years, space has been increasingly seen as a a separate security and intelligence theatre<\/strong>, where states are testing the capabilities of electronic espionage, signal interception and influence on communications infrastructure.<\/p>\n

    Experts warn that such activity increases risks conflicts in outer space<\/strong> and could threaten global navigation, communication and security systems.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
