the great game of satellites - book discussion

[Eventi Area 3]

Book discussion. “The Great Game of Satellites”, by Frediano Finucci La7 TV
Channel

What satellites do, how they are used, what their decisive role has been in
the Ukrainian affair since the invasion of Crimea in 2014: these are some
of the points that the book deals with. Most importantly, it recounts
actual cases and little-known examples of how the United States and Russia
have periodically gone to war against each other for the past decade,
trying to sabotage each other's infrastructure in space, while China
covertly watches and occasionally puts its foot down. In The Great Game of
Satellites, Finucci uses unpublished sources and interviews to tell the
story of the new gold rush in space, almost unbelievable and largely
unknown outside the security community. A documented investigation, a
non-specialist narrative that reveals the latest satellite technologies,
once reserved for military and scientific research, now one of the most
important businesses of the third millennium, with political and legal
implications that were previously unthinkable.
