In this test, a Pioneer 1 series rocket launched by xichang satellite launch center carried a kinetic warhead and destroyed the abandoned meteorological satellite Fengyun-1 C with an orbital altitude of 863 kilometers and a weight of 750 kilograms in the opposite direction at a speed of 8 kilometers per second. It was the ASM- 135 anti-satellite missile launched by the United States from 1985 that destroyed P78-65438.
