According to US Space Force Lieutenant General Stephen Whiting, at a House Foreign Affairs and House Armed Services joint subcommittee hearing, the resulting spray of junk comprised 3,000 trackable objects, 10 per cent of all space debris the US tracks. He sternly referred to China s test as very irresponsible.

The bills listed reflect a relatively active cybersecurity
agenda for the 117th Congress. As reflected in the proposed
legislation, many Members are interested in focusing federal policy
