NASA: Indian satellite destruction creates space junk, threatens safety of ISS

Former DRDO scientist Ravi Gupta told TOI, "Such comments by the Nasa head are discriminatory and irresponsible. It's more of a propaganda. India's test was conducted at 300km altitude and the ISS is at much higher altitude. There is a remote possibility of debris moving upwards and even if some pieces are moving upwards, they will ultimately fall down as they will lose energy or momentum they gained during the missile-satellite collision. Second, the US is blaming us but it itself had conducted a lot of A-Sat tests in the past which generated thousands and thousands of big size space debris, which already pose danger to all space assets of every country, including ours. Likewise, a lot of space debris was created during the similar tests conducted by Russia and China. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/nasa-says-a-sat-te...
