"Satellite Shoot Down" – Shooting down satellites isn't just science fiction—it's happened in real life! In this episode, we explore notable instances where satellites were intentionally destroyed, including:

Operation Burnt Frost (2008): The U.S. Navy's successful interception of the malfunctioning USA-193 satellite to prevent potential hazards from its uncontrolled re-entry.

ASM-135 ASAT Test (1985): The U.S. Air Force's test of the ASM-135 anti-satellite missile, launched from an F-15A, which successfully destroyed the Solwind P78-1 satellite. 

Join us as we delve into the technology, motivations, and implications behind these satellite shootdowns and what they mean for the future of space security!
