U.S. not to conduct direct ascent anti-satellite missile tests

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris announced Monday night that the Biden administration is setting a self-imposed ban on anti-satellite missile testing with the goal of making it an "international norm for responsible behavior in space."

"Simply put, these tests are dangerous, and we will not conduct them," Harris said during remarks at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The vice president said the U.S. hopes other nations will follow suit.
