Campaign test April 03

Indian recently demonstrated its capabilities of destroying low orbit satellite using an anti-satellite missile system. India became the fourth nation in the world to be capable of achieving the feat via Anti-satellite weapons (ASAT) and the operation was named Mission Shakti. However, NASA head Jim Bridenstine had condemned the act saying that it resulted in the creation of 400 pieces of space debris that are posing a threat to the International Space Station, and the astronauts that reside within it. In response, Tapan Misra, a senior adviser to the ISRO chairman said that the missile destroyed the satellite at about 300km in space where the wind pressure is low and the debris will be burned out in a span of six months.
