On March 27, India shot down one of its own satellites in space with an anti-satellite (A-SAT) missile to demonstrate this complex capability, joining the elite club of countries — the US, Russia and China — which have such capabilities.

As India achieved the feat, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) claimed that India’s test has created 400 pieces of debris potentially threatening the International Space Station and other satellites.

However, DRDO clarified that India’s test poses no harm to any satellite or the ISS, because the test was conducted in lower orbit.Click Here: IQOS White
