The correct answer is (a) Mission Shakti.
Mission Shakti was an anti-satellite missile test conducted by India on March 27, 2019. The test was successful in destroying a live satellite in low Earth orbit. This was the first time that an Indian anti-satellite missile had been tested, and it demonstrated India’s capability to defend itself against satellites that could be used for hostile purposes.
The test was conducted by the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) from a launch pad at the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Chandipur, Odisha. The missile used in the test was a modified version of the Prithvi ballistic missile, and it was named the ASAT (Anti-Satellite) missile.
The ASAT missile is a two-stage missile with a range of about 300 kilometers. It is equipped with a kinetic kill vehicle (KKV) that can destroy a satellite by colliding with it at high speed. The KKV is guided to the target by a combination of radar and optical sensors.
The test of the ASAT missile was a significant achievement for India’s space program. It demonstrated India’s capability to develop and deploy advanced technologies for space warfare. The test also raised concerns about the potential for an arms race in space, as other countries may now feel the need to develop their own anti-satellite capabilities.
The other options are incorrect because they are not the names of India’s first anti-satellite missile test.
