ASAT technology

ASAT (Anti-Satellite) technology refers to systems designed to detect, track, and destroy objects in space, such as enemy satellites. These systems can use various methods, including ground-based missiles or space-based weapons, to intercept and neutralize satellites. The goal is to protect a nation's space assets or temporarily disable adversaries' capabilities. While effective, ASAT tests generate space debris and raise concerns about the militarization of space, impacting international safety and cooperation.
