Anti-Satellite Weapons

Anti-Satellite Weapons (ASAT) are technologies designed to disable or destroy satellites in space. These weapons can target satellites used for communication, navigation, or surveillance, impacting military and civilian operations. ASAT systems can be ground-based, missile-based, or even launched from other spacecraft. The use of these weapons raises concerns about space safety, potential debris, and escalating tensions among countries. Nations develop ASAT capabilities to protect their interests and deter adversaries, highlighting the importance of space as a strategic domain in modern warfare.
