China setting up HAARP style system in South Pole
2006-02-02
Beijing announced plans last week to build high-frequency radar on the South Pole. Analysts say the radar could be used to disrupt U.S. intelligence satellites.
Or our new FALCON long range strike, our missiles headed for China, converted SSBN's to conventional missile subs (who were slated to hover in the South pole region for on call world strike.
The radar will be built at ChinaÂ’s Zhongshan Station, where Beijing has set up of a space environment lab.

National security analysts say the South Pole site, because of its remoteness, could be used by China to develop anti-satellite lasers capable of blinding or disrupting U.S. reconnaissance satellites, most of which pass over the pole.
The station will consist of 20 antenna units, including 16 units for the main antenna and four for the auxiliary antenna. Each antenna is 20 meters high. I think HAARP has got around 200The high-frequency radar can detect ionospheric convection within a range of 3,000 kilometers.
this is even worse our satellites have become critical to our warfare plans.

Chinese officials told Xinhua the station would be used to measure the polar space environment.
Yes Yes nothing to see here nothing at all, "Ping time till spy sat 5comes in range"

IsnÂ’t the North and South poles neutral territory wouldnÂ’t that mean this should and could be stopped, and if not WHY would we let them do it. WhatÂ’s next offshore rigs armed to the teeth 120miles off shore of San Fran ect..to watch the migrations of sea gulls?



ChinaÂ’s space program, unlike the U.S. space program, is directly related to Chinese military operations.
A Pentagon report on the Chinese military last year said China was “working on, and plans to field, ASAT systems.”

Jim you were right it was called Harp and was a 16” gun. This links got a photo that is cool also some other interesting big gun ideas. Also at the bottom China built a 20m gun that could hit S. Korea or Taiwan.

#5  It's gonna cause global warming or global cooling or kill the penguins or destroy the ozone or all of the above or ... something ..

The environuts don't care, because it isn't the US that's behind the activity.

#3  Jim I remember the super gun donÂ’t remember it being called Harp may be wrong.

But HAARP is over a hundred antennas up in northern Alaska that is officially a research tool. Of course its been rumored to be many things from plasma ball weapon, earth penetrating sensor, alien crap, sub hunter, to what I lean to a powerful EMP used as a BMD system.

Most Russian ballistic missiles would travel over the North Pole a wall of overcharged EMP could wreak havoc on anything coming through. Who knows the truth? One thing is for sure this thing exist and is real and maybe coincidence or not check the date after the Bush BMD push it went from partial complete hold to bumped up to full power.

Goggle: HAARP the results are from local crazy to official press releases.

#2  I must have missed something, I remember the HAARP project as welding two battleship guns barrel to breech and using the resulting very long gun to launch satelites into low earth orbit by shooting them into orbit from this made-up gun.

#1  Pretty hard to prevent severe "weathering" of equipment in such a desolate environment.
