'Mission power' test now due to geo-strategic reasons

How can you destroy the object moving at a rate of three kilometers per second in space hundreds of kilometers away from the Earth? 'Mission power' showed that this object could be destroyed by the missile. The object could also be used with the use of laser rays or electronic pulse weapon. The question is, why would you do this? Satellite and ballistic missiles today are an essential part of the arsenal. The ability to destroy ballistic missiles and mess with satellite-based communication networks can be important. Such a technique can also be useful to protect against rising meteorites on Earth. Such celestial objects can cause massive destruction upon colliding with earth.

'Mission power' test now due to geo-strategic reasons


During US President Ronald Reagan (1980-88), he spent a lot of research and development on 'Star Wars' project for ballistic missile defense. The then Soviet Union had a lack of financial resources to combat the US and arms race pushed it towards a deep economic crisis. This led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Technically viable ballistic missile immune system and anti-missile system require the same capability. For this, tracking fast-moving objects, It is necessary to estimate its path and be equipped with weapons approaching it. All these things have to be done very quickly, so the immune system should be equipped with the potential danger and its path and the ability of firearms within a few minutes. India had to develop these capabilities for its satellite system. This kind of immune system can be installed in space so that in a short time the answer can be more and the scope is also high. Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has launched a satellite that weighs more than 5,000 kilograms. Thus, the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) was technically capable of setting up such an immune system in space. The satellite, which weighs more than 1,000 kilograms, has launched. Thus, the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) was technically capable of setting up such an immune system in space. The satellite, which weighs more than 1,000 kilograms, has launched. Thus, the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) was technically capable of setting up such an immune system in space.

India has a missile defense system since 2012. By that time India had successfully tested five times the ability to hit the missile in the air. The then Chief Scientific Advisor VK Saraswat had claimed in 97th Indian Science Congress that India has all the resources needed for the anti-missile system. India had tested the capability to kill the missile several times and compared to it it is easier to destroy the satellite. Most of the medium and long-range missiles go up to 300 kilometers above the firing and their flight path is also quite complicated. In comparison, the satellite's navigation path can be predicted in advance. The reason for avoiding the anti-satellite test so far was probably that there was a sharp criticism of such tests of China in 2007. China had destroyed its failed satellite. That's about 800 Was traveling at a height of kilometers. The test resulted in more than 3,000 pieces of the destroyed satellite. Some pieces hit a Russian satellite and the International Space Station was also in danger.


The European Space Agency estimates that in January 2019, a total of 1950 satellites were in active status while more than 3,000 satellites were lost. Space surveillance network is monitoring 22,300 pieces of debris larger than 10 centimeters. The presence of wrecks in the Earth's orbit is a very serious problem. In the year 2012-13, the DRDO missile was thinking of using the immune system to make a virtual test to destroy the satellite. For this, it was considered to adopt the 'fly-by' mode, in which the missile had to pass through the satellite very close but did not have to destroy it. During the mission power test, a satellite weighing 740 kilograms traveling around 300 kilometers of earth was targeted. In this test, debris of destroyed satellite is also made, but due to the close proximity of the earth, they will be destroyed after coming in contact with the atmosphere.


The question is, why did India do an anti-satellite test now?


 Apart from the elections, an international conference in Geneva is also one of the reasons for discussions in the external space to stop the arms race (Paros). As the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, in the event of a consensus on parts, the development of anti-satellite devices may be banned, but countries with such capability will already be exempted from it. India is hoping that its purpose has been achieved. India has signed an outer space treaty, in which there is a ban on the deployment of weapons capable of huge destruction in space. Testing of mission power does not violate that treaty. Apart from this, India is also a member of the Inter-agency Space Debris Coordination Committee, and due to its very low debris in the test, it has not been violated. The geo-strategic implications of the mission can be found. Equipment used in testing Developed on the indigenous level and DRDO and ISRO have become habitual since 1998. But other development programs may have an impact.
