Note: on 11 January 2007, Fengyun 1C was destroyed by a test of a Chinese kinetic-energy antisatellite weapon launched on a medium range ballistic missile (probably a solid-fuel DF-21). As of 27 January 2007, over 500 objects had been cataloged. This is the first known antisatellite intercept since the USA's Delta 180 flight in 1986.

Note:  on 21 February 2008, the NRO crippled USA 193 satellite was intercepted by a three-stage SM-3 missile fired from the USS Lake Erie in the Pacific Ocean. The US Department of Defense reports that the missile successfully hit USA 193 and cataloged some 153 debris objects in orbits.
