“behind the United States to the moon to establish military bases in space, not everyone on earth knows this fact, because the Earth can only see to the side of the moon, while the Chinese recognize this intuitively, but could not find evidence, so plan to send agents to the Moon check it out … “This was originally a Japanese sci-fi comic book,” Moonlight Tour “part, but now body of South Korea, “Chosun Ilbo” reports June 28, which is used to suggest China is building a “space force.”
Japanese science fiction comics that matter get
China since the 1970 launch of the “East is Red” satellite so far, has more than 100 satellites into space. China in 1999 launched the “Shenzhou” unmanned spacecraft, the astronauts will be equipped in 2003′s “Shenzhou V” spacecraft into space, becoming the world’s first manned spacecraft was successfully launched three countries. However, these areas of China in space exploration, the positive results achieved, was hit by some of the ulterior motives of the foreign media interpreted as a prelude to the development of China’s military space.
“Chosun Ilbo,” June 28 article said the space forces from the combat troops, launch vehicles and base units and other system components, China is expected to build this system in 2030. The report also said that although China has not publicly stated its space technology for military purposes, but China’s space developments have been “unable to conceal their true intentions,” because the Chinese established in 2004, the combined Air Force and two for space development one of the “air and space integration” and “offensive and defensive” space strategy. For China’s development of “space forces” of concrete steps, “Chosun Ilbo” seriousness, that the Chinese Air Force unmanned stealth fighter is not only, step in the development of fourth generation fighter, but also have shelved plans to build the U.S. space shuttle “as a new weapon.” , so the astronauts on the space shuttle drivers fighting, and to develop a “space soldiers.” In addition, China’s “Compass” satellite navigation system can improve the missile hit and collect all sorts of information worldwide. For China’s “space forces” of the target, the report speculation “has been established for the space forces of the United States and Russia.”
worried about their backward status
neighbors in space for progress, South Korea is obviously very anxious. “Chosun Ilbo,” that the South Korean Air Force, Army dreams of becoming a space for nearly 20 years. South Korean Air Force’s goal is to “use of space capabilities to defend its sovereignty, to promote national interests and contribute to world peace”, the blueprint for the development of “military-led joint battle space.” However, South Korean media have also recognized that the Korean Air Force has no specific trends. Army Air Force in South Korea last year to commemorate the 60th anniversary ceremony, although the South Korean military is determined to develop space forces, but the reality is that South Korea can only reach the production levels of T-50 trainer.
industry believes that the Korea into space for their own high expectations, but jointly developed with Russia’s “old Law No.” carrier rocket has “repeatedly shot failures,” seriously hurt South Korea’s “passion for space . ” However, the weak foundation of Korea Aerospace Industries is an objective fact, in order among the “space club” needs a solid job of homework, we must first create the mature technology of rockets and other basic equipment, and experience with other countries to strengthen cooperation. The South Korean media on China’s space program improper conjecture is that South Korea would like to take China’s achievements inspired the “space fight”, obviously not just large ones. South Korea can learn from the successful experience of other countries, or to strengthen cooperation, rather than on other countries space strategy speculate, and even malicious interpretation.
China’s space capabilities are respected
present, China has developed its own technology with sophisticated rockets and manned spacecraft, space station project has made breakthrough, and these results are so impressive the other space powers.
According to the U.S. “Christian Science Monitor” reported on June 28 disclosure, the Director of the Russian Federal Space Pell Ivanov recently said that he had contacts with Chinese officials to ask whether China intends to use the “Shenzhou” series of spacecraft as the International Space Station back-up vehicles, but have not received the Chinese response. European Space Agency Jean 雅克多尔丹 also said, “I am pleased to support the expansion of cooperation with China in the International Space Station cooperation, this should be the willingness of all partners, rather than a particular aspect of individual desire.” Although China has not officially asked to join the International Space Station project, but the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) spokesperson said, “We are discussing this, I think on the International Space Station, NASA also hopes that the new partners to join.”
Some analysts pointed out that China has always opposed the militarization of space, the continued strength of China’s space jump itself is a strength of the show. Satellite communications, satellite guidance and positioning technology, not only for the military, the same can also be civilian, the development of China-related technology is not, as some media speculation as only for military purposes, but rather focus on grand strategy for national development. In addition, China’s space capabilities also is a checks and balances, can be effective checks and balances of other countries attempt to promote the militarization of space. Because of China in space shows the strength and responsibility, which makes the development of space technology in China further and further away. (Source: International Online – News of the World)
