India shot down one of its satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) using a modified interceptor of the Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) system on March 27, 2019. SNI's Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale and Editor Surya Gangadharan are in conversation with Associate Editor Amitabh P Revi on the magnitude and the effects of the Anti-Satellite Test (ASAT). The discussion looks at worries over space debris, whether there is a need for more tests, what next in laser, directed energy and cyber technology research and how the test is a strategy of not being caught on the wrong side of a potential future treaty. #India #DRDO #ASAT #ISRO
