MISSION SHAKTI India’s test of an anti-satellite weapon from the Odisha’s APJ Abdul KalamIsland (earlier, known as Wheeler Island) launch complex on march 27, 2019. With this technological mission conducted by the DRDO, India becomes the fourth country, after US, China and Russia, with the capability to destroy a low-orbit satellite.

An MEA release said “one of India’s existing satellites operating in lower orbit” was used in the mission and the test was “fully successful and achieved all parameters as per plans”. It said the test required an extremely high degree of precision and technical capability and success demonstrated India’s capability to interdict and intercept a satellite in outer space based on complete indigenous technology. The team of scientists were able to accomplish this feat within a span of 3 minutes and its significance lies in the fact that India has been successfully able to demonstrate its capability to interdict and intercept a satellite in outer space based on complete indigenous technology. Mission Shakti has ensured that India secures a place in the space power league by shooting down the satellite which was orbiting at an altitude of 300 km.
