“Mission Shakti” was the codename for India’s anti-satellite (ASAT) missile test conducted on March 27, 2019. In this test, India successfully destroyed a live satellite in low Earth orbit (LEO) using a missile, demonstrating its capability in space warfare and technology.

Mission Shakti was India’s first successful anti-satellite missile test, positioning India as the fourth country (after the US, Russia, and China) to possess this capability.

The test was conducted by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It was hailed as a major technological achievement and a boost to India’s security preparedness in space.
