India's ASAT Test

India’s Anti-Satellite (ASAT) test involves launching a missile to deliberately destroy its own satellite in space. This demonstrates the country’s ability to disable or destroy enemy satellites, which are crucial for communication, navigation, and surveillance. Conducted as part of national defense, the test highlights space as a strategic domain where conflicts could extend beyond Earth. While it showcases technological progress, ASAT tests also raise concerns about space debris and international stability, emphasizing the importance of responsible behavior in space activities.
