India to develop and launch 26 satellites indigenously

[Vaishnu]

PS: Internet service is not provided by satellites.

I think u need to equip yourself with latest information. Just wikipedia Satellite Internet access.

Television, Cell phone, Internet( thus all internet related applications like banking, ATM, educational purposes, ticketing etc) and other various usage including weather for casting and such( useful for agriculture) etc. Did you seriously asked that question?

Me thinks he did

Pak ki naak kata di Bharat Neih !! Ab space mein hoga Jalwa and Ham khayenge Halwa!! These media guys nowadays report less and Sensationalize more..

When US and China tested their ASAT weapon , did they care about the space infrastructure? So why do we ?

Forget what others do for a second, abandon national pride too, look at this from this perspective:

The Kessler syndrome (also called the Kessler effect,collisional cascading or ablation cascade), proposed by the NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978, is a scenario in which the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) is high enough that collisions between objects could cause a cascade—each collision generating space debris which increases the likelihood of further collisions.One implication is that the distribution of debris in orbit could render space exploration, and even the use of satellites, unfeasible for many generations.

Kessler syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the reason ASAT tests are stupid, the Chinese one more so because its debris lingered while that of the US, the Burnt Frost exerciser, was burnt up in Earth's atmosphere due to the satellites decaying orbit and the continuation of this orbital decay by the debris:

I wrote this here China's Emergency Sat Launch Vehicle Raises Eyebrows - it's relevant in this discussion too.

There is a difference though between both tests. During the 2007 ASAT test by the Chinese, they targetted an orbiting satillite that was not in a degrading orbit... basically the material they put into space by blowing up their sat stayed there. However, the US sat shoot down targeted a sat that was in a degrading orbit and would have entered into Earth's atmoshpere and burnt up in a few days anyway. Because of its degrading orbit, the material produced from the Burnt Frost excersise was disintegrated during re-entery instead of lingering in space as seen with China's 2007 test.

Keep in mind that during a war, sats that are in orbit and in stable paths will be targeted... sats like military GPS and communications systems. These are not in danger of having their orbits degrading and thus when destroyed, the material produced will linger and become a threat to other sats. Had USA-193 not been in a degrading orbit, it would not have been shot down by the USN.

During war blowing up satellites is nothing more than a stupid idea that puts future satellite launches and space exploration at risk.

"U.S. officials indicated a U.S. spy satellite, later confirmed as USA-193, was in a deteriorating orbit and was expected to crash onto Earth within weeks." - USA-193 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kessler Syndrome, due to debris, will make space travel impossible for humans and non-human systems. We don't need that or want that. ASAT is better done through non-kinetic means such as lasers for electro-optical sats or... well, I'm not going to offer you every type of countermeasure.

But, and just for the sake of offering it and ignoring everything previously written about the stupidity of kinetic ASAT, small satellites can be used as ASAT weapons.

The US MITEx A/B may or may not serve that purpose - I wont confirm anything:

MITEx A

MITEx B

so, you are taking high ground because US shot down SAT in decaying orbit. China did not have such wisdom otherwise it would have been OK?
US would still not be OK with other countries to shoot one in decaying state. This looks like a good example of hypocrisy!

What a bullsh** response. No, read what I posted, drop your emotions and read it. No high road was taken, I merely explained the difference between the two and offered why either as dangerous, but one was more so.

I didn't condemn China and hail the US, I called both of them stupid, one test was more dangerous that the other.

Sure! Your post was like "ASAT test is stupid but US did in safe way. China is the one who did actual stupidity. US did in safe manner"
This may sound like BULLSH** to you again.

US is way ahead of any country. There was no need of any such test. Why to start this stupidity at first place?

EDIT: Corrected above.

Dun Dun DUNNNNNNNN !!!

You have justified your id.....I remember the similar kind of tone in StarWars series....
