This country is growing not only for military, but also for space power. The government has aspirations to conquer the whole world like China, and maybe more. India has reported that they have become a superpower because they have shot down the satellite.
Until now, only the United States, Russia and China have had similar technologies, so this achievement is important because India can now show its superiority in a practical way over its enemy, Pakistan. An anti-satellite weapon called ASAT was used a few days ago. On this fact, he said today in his message to the nation Narendra Modi, prime minister of India.
From information disclosed by the government, it appears that a special missile launched (most likely a Prithvi Defense Vehicle - PDV) destroyed a satellite found in a low orbit around Earth at an altitude of about 300 kilometers above the surface of the Earth. The test took place as part of the Mission Shakti project and lasted only 3 minutes. That was all it needed to destroy the seemingly hostile device that was spying on the territory of India.
Remarkably, after the successful test of anti-satellite weapons, the Prime Minister of India stressed that this technology would allow his country to make the world safer, and to make considerable economic and technological progress. he is strongly advocating the militarization of space, and the weapon he has developed is to allow his country to defend itself when an attack by an enemy power occurs. It's no secret that it's China, which has plans to take over Asia.
Meanwhile, the Indian government intends to send its astronauts to Earth's orbit already in 2022. But this is just the beginning of cosmic struggles. This year was not chosen accidentally. Then, the 75th anniversary of Poland's independence will take place. If everything is going according to plan, India will soon join the elite countries of the world that have sent their citizens into space.
The Indian Space Agency (ISRO) has a first flight plan ready. During its duration, three astronauts, two men and one woman, will take a flight to orbit, at a height of about 400 kilometers, in a 3.7-ton capsule called Gaganyaan. A cosmic adventure will last 7 days and is to be a foundation for the implementation of much larger cosmic plans.
Astronauts will not rest and admire the views of the capsule spreading from behind the windows. ISRO announces that they will have their hands full. Each of them has already assigned very important tasks for the successful completion of the mission. Together, they will check life support and control systems and perform several planned experiments in microgravity.
The capsule will be elevated to the Earth's orbit at the top of the GSLV rocket, which will be powered by two Vikas 2 engines, providing a thrust of about 1532 kilonewtons. The Indian Space Agency reported that 15,000 industry professionals will participate in the $ 1.3 billion project.
India is planning further manned flights. When they manage to master the orbits, the next step will be the Moon and Mars. In the meantime, ISRO also wants to send research probes to the Silver Globe, the Red Planet, and even Venus. More recently, there is information that it is quite likely that India will be the first to send astronauts to Venus and build the first base in its dense atmosphere.
