Dear Mr. Manish, Your idea is good but little complicated. For matter of fact, no country want to leave their satelites and other space vehical in outer sapce for the fear of lekage of know-how. But at the same time, it is very difficult to bring back a orbiting body to inner sapce and for that case to earth atmoshpare. as You must be well aware that even solid rocks of size of about some km sqaures, while entering into earth atmoshpare start burning and what left of them is just dust and particles. The USA wants to Destroy this satelite, so that it can avoid any harm to public from burning of posions liquid fuel, which is stored at that satelite. USA can destroy this satelite in OUTER sape, but it is bound by UN treaty not to do so. On the other hand USA has technology to bring back space ships (like Shuttles), but that technology is new, and very costly in terms of Money as well as effective payload criteria. This technlogy was not used on this perticular satelite, simply at that time it was not there.

The best system is what followed by russians. they have built all their space vehicals with a self-distrcuting device, except may be "MIR Sky-lab". Which destroys the space vehicals at their re-entry. and what falls on earth is just thiny particles. You can not apply it in this particular case, as for the truth again, the American laws does not allow the sapce vehicals to be equiped with any explosive device.

Well i do not know, why the post of manish is reported as abuse. I think rediff should provide an option to people to contest such abuse reports. Or it should put a option to write directly to admin. Alternativly post the profile of admin on the rediff site.

Dear Avi,
I would also like to touch the subject associated with this issue is space garbage which is created by the Space launch / Missions, it has also created danger to the orbiting satellites.
The anti sattelite missile or the distruction of the statelite will further increase garbage in the space creating trouble to sattelites.
India also has lost one or two sattelites, but the cause was not disclosed to public interest.
The action of the american will further increase the chances of space garbage and the velocity impact of the destroyed satellite will also damage the other sattelites. The chinese has asked the good question in this regard.
