00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.700
This is an updated simulation of the Indian ASAT test from yesterday

00:00:04.700 --> 00:00:07.900
yesterday. We had originally produced at the Target was going

00:00:07.900 --> 00:00:11.600
to be microset are based on the information from the Indian

00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:12.800
Prime Minister statements.

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.000
And the note am following were pleased to say that today.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.100
We believe we have confirmed that based on the latest orbital

00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:22.100
information released from the US Air Force satellite was launched

00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:27.200
on January 24th, 2019 with a mass of 740 kg to fairly large

00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:28.900
satellite in this particular model.

00:00:28.900 --> 00:00:32.200
What we've done is it used a downward intercepted minimize

00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:33.300
the debris fragments.

00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:37.200
This isn't a reasonable assumption and during the time of the

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.400
engage with the altitude of 282 km,

00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:43.500
but they're also closing velocity of 9.8 kilometers per second.

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:47.200
We simulated a representative break up using a standard

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.900
break up models in this particular stimulation remodeled

00:00:50.900 --> 00:00:55.600
6500 fragments. Basically those that were larger than a half

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.200
a centimeter in reality.

00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.900
We can't track the objects at Smalls the number of track.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.800
Pelagic is going to be significantly less based on the latest

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:07.300
orbital information for my corset are what shows that the spacecraft

00:01:07.300 --> 00:01:10.900
had a 21 meter per second delta-v or change in velocity

00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:15.400
a showing at the intercept actually slowed it down a little

00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:20.500
bit and there's a strong confirmation of the year that it was

00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:24.300
indeed. The intended target has confirmed that they're tracking

00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:27.500
270 objects. We look forward to the release of that information

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.700
so that we can update our debris model and the rest of our analysis

00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:32.000
stay tuned.
