摘要

小行星和彗星的碰撞给地球带来了低概率、高冲击风险。因此，太空大国不太可能投资于旨在发展新的偏转技术的能力，使行星防御只剩下两种现成的方法——动能撞击器和核弹头。在法律上和规范上，在目前的情况下，禁止在外层空间使用核装置。在即将发生影响的紧急情况下，需要采取这种办法。这一条款表明，在国际空间法中设立例外可以加强核制度，同时在必要时允许在空间领域进行有效的转移。

Atomic Salvation: A Case for Nuclear Planetary Defense

ABSTRACT Asteroid and comet collisions present low-chance, high-impact risks for the Earth. As such, it is unlikely that space powers will invest into capabilities aiming at the development of new deflection technologies leaving planetary defense with two readily available methods – kinetic impactor and nuclear warhead. Legally and normatively, the use of a nuclear device in outer space is in the current state of affairs forbidden. In the case of an emergency with an impending impact, such an approach is needed. This article suggests that establishment of an exception in international space law strengthens the nuclear regime while allowing for an effective deflection in the space domain if the need arises.
