摘要

印度在20世纪60年代作为一个资源有限的发展中国家启动了其太空计划,打算利用太空来推进其社会和经济发展目标。然而,太空计划在过去十年中有所发展,出现了两个重大变化:一个是雄心勃勃的太空探索计划,另一个是越来越多地将太空用于国家安全。在未来几年,新德里的太空愿望肯定会受到对中国日益增长的安全担忧的推动,尤其是北京日益增长的反太空能力。预计这将导致更加重视国家安全组成部分,并形成新的空间安全合作。印度的雄心体现在其月球和火星任务上。印度空间研究组织(ISRO)也在努力进行Gaganyan的工作,这是印度首个载人航天任务,计划于2023年发射。尽管许多人质疑这些发展,因为印度仍然是一个贫穷的国家,但政府认为不应该放弃其与太空有关的雄心有很多原因。首先,随着印度太空计划的成熟和日益复杂,太空探索是下一步的自然选择。随着更大的发射器和更复杂的太空行动,印度的太空能力缓慢但稳定地上升。进一步的空间探索以提高技术能力将是合乎逻辑的下一步。其次,虽然这些任务可能不会直接帮助发展或社会,但它们提高了印度太空计划的知名度和声誉,使其成为其他国家更具吸引力的合作伙伴。第三,执行这些任务带来了技术效益。美国国家航空航天局协助印度的第一次月球任务和具有深空通信功能的Mangalyaan任务。人们认为,如果印度想在全球太空管理中发挥更突出的作用,这些任务和发展对印度来说是必要的。当印度考虑利用太空时,军事和安全问题变得更加关键。尽管新德里没有正式的太空战略,但印度议会和联合国等组织的官方评论表明,该国的军事实力正在增强。印度的太空计划过去是由道德和主权问题驱动的。然而,自20世纪90年代以来,它是由实用主义和对国家安全的担忧驱动的。出于军国主义的原因,印度的太空计划已经建立了可靠的发射能力和各种情报、监视、侦察、,

The priorities of India in space are shifting toward national security
India launched its space programme in the 1960s as a developing country with limited resources, intending to harness space to advance its social and economic development goals. However, the space programme has grown in the last decade, with two major changes: an ambitious space exploration programme and the growing use of space for national security. In future years, New Delhi’s space aspirations will most certainly be driven by growing security worries about China, notably Beijing’s growing counter-space capabilities. This is anticipated to result in a greater emphasis on national security components and the formation of new space security collaborations. India’s ambitions are mirrored in its Moon and Mars missions. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is also hard at work on Gaganyaan, the country’s first human space mission, which is set to launch in 2023. Even though many people have questioned these developments because India is still a poor country, there are many reasons why the government feels it should not give up its space-related ambitions. First, as India’s space programme matures and becomes more sophisticated, space exploration is the natural next step. With larger launchers and more complicated space operations, India’s space capabilities have risen slowly but steadily. Further space exploration to improve technical capabilities would be the logical next step. Second, while these missions may not directly aid development or society, they raise the prominence and reputation of the Indian space programme, making it a more appealing partner for others. Third, carrying out these missions has resulted in technological benefits. NASA assisted India’s first Moon mission and the Mangalyaan mission with deep space communication functions. These missions and developments are, it is felt, necessary for India if it wants to play a more prominent role in governing space worldwide. When India considers using space, military and security issues have become more critical.

期刊介绍: Founded in 1910, The Round Table, Britain"s oldest international affairs journal, provides analysis and commentary on all aspects of international affairs. The journal is the major source for coverage of policy issues concerning the contemporary Commonwealth and its role in international affairs, with occasional articles on themes of historical interest. The Round Table has for many years been a repository of informed scholarship, opinion, and judgement regarding both international relations in general, and the Commonwealth in particular, with authorship and readership drawn from the worlds of government, business, finance and academe.
