1, reconnaissance satellite
Reconnaissance satellites are divided into photographic reconnaissance satellites, electronic reconnaissance satellites, ocean surveillance satellites, missile early warning satellites and nuclear explosion surveillance satellites. They use various reconnaissance equipment, such as remote sensors or radio receivers, to collect information about ground, sea or air targets and obtain military intelligence.
2. Military meteorological satellites
Military meteorological satellites are used to provide real-time meteorological data in global strategic areas and any battlefield.
3. Military navigation satellites
Military navigation satellites can provide accurate position, speed and time information for ground chariots, planes, surface ships, ground troops and even individual soldiers, and can accurately guide missiles and shells, greatly improving the effectiveness of weapons.
4. Geodetic satellite
Geodetic satellites are used to determine the coordinates and topographic maps of any place on the earth, and to determine the coordinates of hitting targets.
5. Military communication satellites
Military communication satellites include strategic communication satellites and tactical communication satellites, in which strategic communication satellites are used for global strategic communication and tactical communication satellites are used for providing regional tactical communication and mobile communication of military aircraft, ships and even personal terminals.
Step 6 block satellites
Interceptor satellite is a satellite weapon that uses its own explosion or launches missiles, lasers or particle beams to attack or destroy enemy satellites.

Meaning function
Many countries regard military satellites as an important part of national defense competition, allowing them to show their talents in modern wars. In peacetime, these military satellites were transformed into civilian use to serve economic construction.
The development trend of military satellites mainly lies in improving the survivability and anti-jamming ability of satellites, realizing all-weather and all-time coverage of the earth and real-time transmission of information, prolonging the working life and expanding military uses.
The United States is the first country in the world to deploy a national defense satellite system. From 1962 to 1984, the United States deployed 68 third-generation national defense communication satellites, enabling military commanders to strategize and win thousands of miles. It is said that it takes only three minutes for the president of the United States to give operational orders to the first-line troops around the world.
