I would not worry about anti satellite weapons at this time.  If
any satellite gets shot down it will be a military one because their
existence is not acknowledged, hence, you won't hear if it gets
shot down.

They can't get the satellite because it is in an eccentric orbit
something like 435 x 100 miles (don't quote me) because the booster
that McDonald-Douglas made appears to has only fired a fraction of planned
time.  The shuttle shouldn't be implicated.

That's the way things go in this agency.
