MISSION SHAKTI Violates OUTER SPACE TREATY ?

Welcome readers, to your reading destination Newsringer "Every News Matters".

India has joined the elite clubs of countries which has indegiously developed the A-SAT (Anti Satellite) which was launched on 27th March and was successfully tested on a Indian satellite which was orbiting 300 kms above from the earth. We have already made a detailed report on that topic, you can read it here.

Anti-Satellite Weapon or ASAT?

ASAT are space weapons that are designed for destroying other satellite for strategic and military purposes. All modern militaries depends on satellite, for virtually everything they need to do in case of a war. To find targets to guide their troops and to have secure communication and by testing an ASAT India proved that in case of a war India can knock out the satellite of an adversary rendering that adversary effectively blind at a time of war.

India's Message After A-SAT missile technology?

There is a very small club of countries that have this technology. India wants to demonstrate that its in  in that club that its going to shape the rules of weapons in space.

Mission Shakti

From the picture above it is clear that #Missionshakti completes its operation in 3 minutes only and very peacefully.

As and when negotiation begin but there’s also another subtle message going out , if you can knock out a satellite in space you are able to knock out ballistic missile in space. India is going to be showing that it  not only has an ASAT capability but its heading to anti-ballistic missile capability which means it will be able to protect itself from nuclear weapons launched by other countries.  

 

MISSION SHAKTI Violates  OUTER SPACE TREATY ?

India has been a part of Outer Space Treaty signed on 1967.

India’s anti-satellite (ASAT) missile test Mission Shakti did not violate any international treaty. After US, Russia and China India has become the fourth country who had engineered the ability to destroy satellites.

 

Treaty And Rules

 

Outer Space Theory

From the Globe diagram given above, it is easily seen that almost every country(shown in green) is covered under this treaty. The Treaty on Principles Governing Activities of States in Exploration and Use of Outer Space: commonly known as “Outer Space Treaty”. It came into force on October 10, 1967.India signed the treaty on March 3, 1967, but ratified it almost 15 years later, on January 18, 1982.The Ministry of External Affair (MEA) pointed it out that the “Outer Space Treaty” prohibited use of only the weapon of mass destruction in outer space. It did not bar the use of ordinary or conventional weapon-like the one used in Mission Shakti –in outer space

Our Views

DRDO and ISRO has made fantastic strides in the indegenous missile program over the years, we've  been able to put missiles in precision targets and we've been able to send a mission to the moon. Unfortunately when we are very good in designing these highly sophisticated technology we still lag behind when it comes to things like guns , aircraft, tanks , there is some mismatch in the Indian Science and technology and defence sectors that this government and the future government will really have to work at addressing  this means we can do it, but we need to do it much much more than missiles. #Newsringer welcomes peace in the future.
