Mission Shakti

Mission ShaktiPrime Minister Shri Narendra Modi addressed the nation today. In a series of tweets, the Prime Minister said โ€œIn the journey of every nation there are moments that bring utmost pride and have a historic impact on generations to come. One such moment is today. India has successfully tested the Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Missile. Congratulations to everyone on the success ofย Mission Shakti. Mission Shakti was a highly complex one, conducted at extremely high speed with remarkable precision. It shows the remarkable dexterity of Indiaโ€™s outstanding scientists and the success of our space programme.

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) today successfully conducted an Anti-Satellite (A-SAT) missile test โ€˜Mission Shaktiโ€™ from the Dr AP J Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha. A DRDO-developed Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) Interceptor Missile successfully engaged an Indian orbiting target satellite in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) in a โ€˜Hit to Killโ€™ mode. The interceptor missile was a three-stage missile with two solid rocket boosters. Tracking data from range sensors has confirmed that the mission met all its objectives.

The test has demonstrated the Nationโ€™s capability to defend its assets in outer space. It is a vindication of the strength and robust nature of DRDOโ€™s programmes. With this India joins a select group of nations, which have such capability. The test has once again proven the capability of indigenous weapon systems.
