HIGHLIGHTS: All debris will decay in a matter of weeks, says DRDO chief on Mission Shakti

LIVE UPDATES: While addressing media persons in New Delhi, DRDO chief Dr G Satheesh Reddy said that the safety of space assets was kept in mind while launching Mission Shakti. He also said all the debris of India's anti-satellite missile will decay in 45 days.

Mission Shakti has ensured that it secures a place in the space power league.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Saturday addressed media in New Delhi on Mission Shakti project that was launched on March 27. DRDO chairman Dr G Satheesh Reddy briefed the media on the technical aspects of the anti-satellite missile (ASAT) saying that all the debris of the mission will decay in 45 days. The ASAT missile launch last month drew criticism from NASA as it condemned the mission over ignoring safety concerns in the space, especially threat to the International Space Station.
