A Chinese space tug just grappled a dead satellite

A Chinese satellite pulled a defunct navigation satellite out of the way of other satellites on January 22. The satellite, called SJ-21, appeared to operate as a space tug when it grappled onto the navigation satellite from the Chinese CompassG2 network. The operation details didn’t come from Chinese authorities but from a report by ExoAnalytic Solutions, a commercial space monitoring company.
