The 2 U.S satellites were Hacked by China

The Commission’s 2011 Annual Report to Congress investigates China’s advancing space program. It says that in recent years, Two U.S. government satellites have experienced interference apparently consistent with the cyber exploitation of their control facility. The responsible party achieved all steps required to command the satellite failed to issue commands.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration confirmed two suspicious events related to the Terra EOS satellite in 2008 and the U.S. Geological Survey confirmed two anomalous events related to the Landsat-7 satellite in 2007 and 2008.

Who is behind this:
The Commission's report site some indication of China involvement in this attack as follows:-

1. One Chinese defense analyst noted: ‘For countries that can never win a war with the United States by using the method of tanks and planes, attacking the US space system may be an irresistible and most tempting choice'

2. In August–September 2006: China used a laser to temporarily blind (or ‘‘dazzle’’) U.S. reconnaissance satellites, according to the reports.

3. Again in January 2010: China conducted a kinetic energy (also called ‘‘hit-to-kill’’) ballistic missile intercept. More difficult to execute than an anti-satellite attack, this technology has clear anti-satellite applications and ‘‘strategic implications for U.S. security interests.’’

4. Chines Military Astronautics write, attacks on space systems ‘‘generate tremors in the structure of space power of the enemy, cause it to suffer from chain effects, and finally lose, or partly lose, its combat effectiveness.’’ One tactic is ‘‘implanting computer virus and logic bombs into the enemy’s space information network so as to paralyze the enemy’s space information system.’’


The report described those events and the above writing appear consistent with authoritative Chinese military writings!
