- OK, I think I am smarter than them. Are you saying that inorder to avoid the
- "transfer" there is a self-destroy device which can sense abnormal movement,
- so that if the satellite is sent to the other orbit, it will blow up?
- When Chinese tried to send it to another orbit and hope to recycle it later
- it explored? Or, it has touched down somewhere and got by the Chinese?
