anti-satellite missile systems

Anti-satellite (ASAT) missile systems are designed to disable or destroy satellites in space. They typically involve missile launchers that target satellites in orbit, often using direct impact or explosive force to neutralize them. These systems are used for national defense to protect space assets or counter adversaries’ satellites. Developing ASAT capabilities requires advanced technology for precise targeting and tracking, given the high speeds and distances involved. While they play a strategic military role, their use can create space debris and impact global satellite communications and navigation systems.
