this serious please refrain from making jokes

Well India created Internet and it will take it back.

So american asat test didnt create debris i guess?

Of those, 24 went above the ISS at the point furthest from its orbit of the earth.

NASA: India's 'terrible' anti-satellite missile test endangered ISS astronauts - The US space agency says hundreds of pieces of orbital debris created by New Delhi's test puts "human lives at stake".

[SrNair]

Sure ,NASA will have some concern like ISRO or JAXA etc .Because nations having active satellite pgm will worry .
Those who dont have no need to worry about it

Of course it did. Most debris burnt up within 48 hours following the intercept of USA-193, but it took 40 weeks for all debris to be rendered harmless.

The US has Orbital Debris Mitigation Standard Practices, which limit where and when an intercept test can occur during peacetime operations. Thusly, Operation Burnt Frost took place at a time, against a target and in an area where the risk to other orbital bodies was deemed less significant.

It's hard to judge India's test though. We simply don't have the requisite details at the moment or insight into their risk mitigation policies and thus have to rely on OSINT and statements made by official government bodies like NASA. You didn't hear a similar statement from NASA following Operation Burnt Frost because they were part of the planning and risk mitigation team from the start.

Both Russia and China offered criticism, but themselves are culpable of ASAT development. Russia in particular has invested a great deal into air-launched ASATs and hunter-killer satellites in recent years, mimicking past American interest in either.

India's ASAT test is impressive, and I suspect its prowess in satellite building and development has led them to an interest in satellites similar to the American "inspection" satellite series "Prowler" and "MiteX"

In any event, yes debris posses a risk to the ISS and NASA is right to mention that. It's literally part of their job to mitigate risk to the ISS. But they are also complicit in American ASAT developments, so their statements are a tinged with irony too. The Americans today are focused less on kinetic anti-satellite measures, but SM-3 and GBI could easily serve that purpose. They're more interested in satellite-based countermeasures like "inspection" satellites or reusable space planes.

And the DailyStar is known for sensationalist headlines. I doubt NASA is really "furious". While the Americans may or may not have been notified, they likely still had advanced notice simply because of their vast monitoring capabilities in the region.

Pakistan should demand a global action against India for this test - and if there is none - Pakistan should go on and do a similar test. If the world fails to punish a criminal, crime will be repeated.

Action against India may include hefty fines or a ban of space activities for good time period.

Ban of space activities Aisa mat karna pileeez

No Pakistan cannot do similar test.. only 4 countries in the world are nearly capable of this and India is the youngest one to the club.. After US, Russia and China have done their bit destroying the orbital cleanliness, they are no one to preach anything to anyone ... may be we will send up clean the high orbits mission one day, as there is the real pollution. This test debris will be back home or burnt on the way down already by now.

You guys (Indians) are over delusional about your muscles and under delusional about what Pakistan can do. With this comment, I will leave you to your mental mess.

Am not delusional man.. This is a fact and you are just being salty for no reason. I did not say anything to hurt your fragile ego. I just said, in space, there are only 4 countries that can do this and we are the youngest kid on the block. What did i say negative or delusional?

ASAT debris will burn out in 6 months: ISRO scientist after NASA condemns Mission Shakti
The comments from ISRO came at a day after NASA administrator Jim Brindenstine pointed out that NASA has identified 400 pieces of orbital debris from India's anti-satellite test that posed risk to ISS which was launched way back in 1998 and has seen over 54 crewed missions.


US denies ‘spying’ on India’s ASAT missile test, experts claim otherwise

Spaced Out

A day after NASA claimed that the debris from India’s anti-satellite (ASAT) missile test has increased a collision risk to the International Space Station (ISS) by 44 per cent, Tapan Misra, senior advisor to ISRO chairman said on Tuesday that Indian scientists will not do anything to shame India and the debris from the “Mission Shakti” experiment will burn out in the next six months.

NASA says debris from India’s ASAT increased risk to International Space Station

Claiming that the DRDO experiment was “not an explosion”, but was more like a “bullet”, the distinguished ISRO scientist said, “The Chinese did an experiment at 800 kilometer altitude where the air pressure is not much. The debris is still flying around.” Misra was replying to a query on ISS raised by a student at the Gujarat National Law University (GNLU), where the scientist was present for an open house session on the topic “Indian Human Space Programme and its legal implication.”

India destroyed a low-orbiting satellite in a test to prove it was among the world’s advanced space powers.

“That is a terrible, terrible thing to create an event that sends debris at an apogee that goes above the International Space Station,” he said.

“That kind of activity is not compatible with the future of human spaceflight,” he added. “It’s unacceptable and NASA needs to be very clear about what its impact to us is.”

Is there anything NASA can do about it tough? I wondor

Read this 'Out of the 20,000 catalogued objects registered today, some 1,700 are active satellites; the other ones are space debris, representing 92 per cent of the orbital population'

page 8/17 of this report: http://www.unoosa.org/res/oosadoc/d...5c_12019crp_7_0_html/AC105_C1_2019_CRP07E.pdf

We did not create the issue.. US, Russia and recently China has.. India will not give up, just because they have an objection, after they created the mess

Is there anything NASA can do about it tough? I wondor

Nahi.. They don't own space.

But there is a committee of UN - UNOOSA, which is working on it.. I have just shared a link of it.

Not sure if anything is confirmed, but I have heard that ISRO and DRDO are planning to do test something similar to the Prowler around June.

These countries have this capability because they have chosen to work on that capability and have developed it to the point where ASAT is a reality. Given what Pakistan has developed in missile technology and already has developed Ababeel platform, ASAT is within reach. But this will be visible to an eye which is not delusional - and again Indians cannot escape this condition. Indians assume bigger land size = bigger human brains.
