Which event involved a weather satellite?

Which event involved a weather satellite?

• A. US Space Command reestablished
• B. Space Futures Command established
• C. Chinese ASAT test against a weather satellite
• D. USSF created

Answer: (C)

The key idea is actions that directly involve a weather satellite. Among these options, the event that fits is a Chinese anti-satellite test that targeted a weather satellite. In 2007, China launched a missile to intercept and destroy Fengyun-1C, a weather satellite, in orbit. This is a clear case of a space conflict affecting a weather-imaging asset and generating debris that impacted many objects in orbit. The other items describe organizational changes rather than events involving a satellite. Reestablishing US Space Command, creating a Space Futures Command, and the formation of the US Space Force are all about how space activities are commanded and structured, not about a weather satellite being involved in a mission or incident.
