The Chinese space center discovered the jammer weeks before the launch of the latest mission. This
Experts from the China Satellite Launch Center have discovered a jamming device that can interfere with navigation systems. The jammer was installed in a car outside the base.
The center is now preparing to launch the Shenzhou-14 spacecraft, which will deliver a crew of three taikonauts to China's Tiangong National Orbital Station.
The jammer could cause the missile and ship toget off course. It took the center's scientists and engineers several days to analyze and track the interference signals that repeatedly appeared near the launch pad. The threat was neutralized. It is unclear who is behind it.
