已把触角伸向太空的激光武器 1997年10月17日黄昏,美国一颗服役期满的气象卫星MSTI-3正在距地球415km上空的环形极地轨道上运行。此时,美国新墨西哥州南部沙漠深处的白沙导弹靶场,一台中型红外高级化学激光器正悄悄地瞄准着它。就在阳光使卫星发出亮光的一刹那,一束高能激光倏地向上射出,似利剑穿过天际直达天空,一举击中并摧毁了这颗卫星。 Laser weapons that have extended their tentacles into space At 17 a.m. on the evening of 17 October 1997, a meteorological satellite MSTI-3, which expired in the United States, was operating on a circular polar orbit above 415 km from the Earth. At this time, a white sand missile range deep in the desert of southern New Mexico, United States, is being quietly aiming at a medium-sized infrared chemical laser. Just at the moment the sun shines on the satellite, a bunch of high-energy laser beams shoot upwards, hitting the sky like a sword and hitting the sky and destroying the satellite.
