Description
Description | India is developing a satellite-protection project to improve its ability to protect satellites from attacks. The project includes plans to develop 'bodyguard' satellites to identify and counter threats to orbiting spacecraft. It is part of a larger effort by the Indian government to develop more security assets in orbit, including a 270 billion Indian rupees ($3 billion) plan for about 50 surveillance satellites, with the first expected to launch next year. The project may involve launching Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) satellites as part of a bigger system including ground-based radars and telescopes to identify threats quickly and allow repositioning of targeted satellites. |
