NASA On India Space Mission Space Shakti, Says Anti-Satellite Missile Test A Terrible Thing
  • 5 years ago
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Administrator Jim Bridenstine On India Space Mission Space Shakti: The head of NASA, chairman Jim Bridenstine, has called an ongoing Indian enemy of satellite rocket test, which decimated a satellite in low Earth circle and shot 400 bits of trash into space, a "horrendous, awful thing". "That sort of movement isn't perfect with the fate of human spaceflight," said Bridenstine, talking at a live spilled Town Hall social affair of NASA workers. "It's unsuitable and NASA should be clear about what its effect to us is." India declared that it had effectively completed "Mission Shakti", an enemy of satellite rocket test on March 27, wrecking one of the nation's satellites. The achievement of the mission made India just the fourth country to finish such a test, following past tests led by the US, Russia and China.
