Asat Missile

A Russian anti-satellite missile test has created a debris field in low-Earth orbit of more than 1,500 pieces of trackable orbital debris, forcing the astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to take shelter in their spacecraft for safety, the US said. This direct-ascent anti-satellite (DA-ASAT) missile test has also likely generated...

The debris created by India’s anti-satellite missile when it shot down once of the country’s own satellites in a test earlier this year is still floating around the Earth, a Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics astronomer has claimed.

India's successful test of an anti-satellite missile (ASAT) last month, when it shot down a satellite in space, was met with mixed reactions internationally.

India is concerned about the "threats" it faces in space, the Pentagon has said, defending New Delhi for recently testing the anti-satellite or ASAT missile capabilities. On March 27, India achieved a historic feat by shooting down its own low-orbit satellite with a ground-to-space missile, making the country a space power.

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Chairman G Satheesh Reddy said today that there was no possibility of debris from the anti-satellite (ASAT) test conducted by India on March 27 hitting the International Space Station (ISS).

ASAT Missile Test: The United States has said that the issue of space debris is an important concern and it has taken note of the Indian government's statements that its recently conducted anti-satellite missile test or ASAT was designed to address "space debris issues," according to US State Department Deputy Spokesperson Robert Palladino.

Influential businessman Anand Mahindra today said the US was being hypocritical after the country's space agency NASA termed India's anti-satellite missile test or ASAT test a "terrible, terrible thing."

A month before India's successful test of an anti-satellite missile, right in the middle of election season, a similar test had failed, a leading expert from the Federation of American scientists has claimed. Quoting US government sources, Ankit Panda has written in The Diplomat magazine that a missile tested on February 12 failed after flying for ...

The head of National Aeronautics and Space Administration todaybranded India's destruction of one of its satellites a "terrible thing" that had created 400 pieces of orbital debris and led to new dangers for astronauts aboard International Space Station

Will India's recent test of the anti-satellite (ASAT) missile endanger the launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle tomorrow? The anti-satellite weapon launched as part of Mission Shakti created a new debris pile some 300 kilometres above the Earth.

After having killed a low-orbit satellite with a space missile, India now seeks to give birth to a new surveillance satellite with a special mission of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) that has many firsts.

The Pentagon has strongly denied the reports that the US spied on India's anti-satellite or ASAT missile test by sending a reconnaissance aircraft from its base in Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean to monitor the development. It, however, said that the United States was aware of India's first test-fire of an anti-satellite missile.

Russia on Friday highlighted "the non-directedness" of the anti-satellite weapons test conducted by India against any specific country and New Delhi's reassurance of continuance of foreign policy to prevent the deployment of weapons in outer space.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not break the Model Code of Conduct with his televised address to the nation on Wednesday announcing a successful test of India's anti-satellite weapon, the Election Commission said on Friday.

Referring to Mission Shakti, the Anti-Satellite (ASAT) missile test which paved the way for the country to enter an elite space club, PM Modi said the government has taken measures to set up a ''chowkidar'' (watchman) in space.
