How come I don't know anything about it? :eek1::eek1::eek1::eek1: All I knew about an older one called "Integrated Space Cell". Is there anything more?

Wikipedia says Mach 18.................

Space Race has nothing to do with. But yeah, it's a symbol of power projection. India is going to add every feather in its cap whatever USA, Russia and China got.

US is warning of debris. So, are other countries. If would have intercepted it above 500kms, there may be have been some criticism. But this one was safe relatively.

Yes Bigger PSLV and GSLV based vehicles. The another way is to implant a killer satellite in orbit to collide with the target (easier & cheaper approach against GEO satellites as interception becomes difficult with altitude). Yes, in both ways. You have already seen direct kill vehicles...

Stick my thread. Whatever thread I created for uniting discussion is getting materialized.:peace:

Mission Shakti: India tests ASAT missile shooting down a satellite in low earth orbit: PM Modi Chuparustam nikle bhai!!

Eklavya is the possible name. Thanks Tarun.

Easy to say, but only can be done but high end technologies (beyond the Japan). Otherwise, US, Russia and China would have done it before. BTW, ISRO has a project for Robotic Space Mission to demonstrate human spaceflight before sending humans in space. So, it could give us some experience to...

Others method is to put another satellite in the same orbit as that of target to make them collide and destroy each other.

I meant not directly shooting satellite but making the projectile or missile fly from very near. This will demonstrate our capability without creating debris. No debris means no international objections and pressure. Other suggestion is soft kill which I don't think possible before...

I agree with The Diplomat's article. We must try at least a flyby. :-) Off topic: We're going by launch 22 SATs in a single shot on 22nd June. :D

Use this thread to discuss about Indian ASAT capability (via rockets, missiles, DEWs, or Railguns etc..), Does India has capability, should it demonstrate or not, if yes advantages and consequences, when must be done. For discussion DEWs, We have a separate thread as well. Indian Laser and...
