 Aster 15 / Aster 30
The Aster is capable of load limits of 60 G in its terminal phase thanks to its aerodynamic pilot, in addition to which there are impulses from lateral jets at the center of gravity, making last-minute corrections of trajectory possible at the moment of interception.
Aster's impact point was under a meter from its target's center of gravity.
Aster is capable of evolving in the direction of an antiballistic role in the future.

ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) is an imaging instrument flying on Terra, a satellite launched in December 1999 as part of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS).
ASTER is being used to obtain detailed maps of land surface temperature, reflectance and elevation.
ASTER captures high spatial resolution data in 14 bands, from the visible to the thermal infrared wavelengths; and provides stereo viewing capability for digital elevation model creation.
