Abstract

India's inaugural anti-satellite test, "Mission Shakti," demonstrated the nation's prowess in intercepting intercontinental ballistic missiles while underscoring the imperative of safeguarding space from militarization. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the mission's significance, operational specifics, and challenges encountered. With the successful test conducted on March 27, 2019, attention is drawn to future challenges and implications of ASAT testing, alongside India's evolving international collaborations in space defense. The core objective of India's ASAT initiative remains the assurance of national security against potential ballistic threats from outer space.
