The United States on Wednesday (27 March) said that it has taken note of the India’s statement on anti-satellite test and that Washington will “continue to pursue shared interests in space” with New Delhi.
As reported earlier, under ‘Mission Shakti’, India, on 27 March, successfully tested an anti-satellite missile (A-SAT missile) by shooting down a live low earth orbit satellite about 300 km away from the earth surface.
“The issue of space debris is an important concern for the U.S. government. We took note of Indian government statements that the test was designed to address space debris issues,” the statement added.
