Official ASAT - Anti Satellite Missile Mission / Mission Shakti Video by DRDO

An Anti-Satellite (A-SAT) test was successfully conducted by DRDO on 27 March, 2019 with a new interceptor missile against alive orbiting satellite in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) in a “Hit to Kill” mode. The interceptor missile is a three stage missile having two solid rocket boosters and a “Hit to Kill” capable Kill Vehicle (KV).
The ASAT mission was conducted, as per the directives of the Hon’ble PM in 2016, to demonstrate India’s advancing technological capabilities in engaging space based threats involving complex mission planning and execution.
The geographically distributed C4I weapon system detected, tracked and classified it as a satellite. The mission control centre (MCC) authorized destruction of the target through an assignment to the launch control centre (LCC). The LCC, in turn, computed a feasible intercept solution, prepared and launched the interceptor missile from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island, Dhamra, Odisha. The “Kill Vehicle (KV)” was released as per the real-time computation of the sequence of events followed by the jettisoning of the heat shield.

Extra ordinary technical brilliance at display with a success at first attempt showcased the Indian mathematical process, it is in their DNA. I wish the same zeal will continue and develop Intercontinental Anti Ballistic missile. This will save billions of dollars in the coming decades. God bless DRDO, kudos to whole team.
