Conflict and Peace in India's Northeast: The Role of Civil Society

O n the question of emerging ASAT technologies, questions were asked about research being conducted outside the United States in this area. The consensus among the experts was that very little research is being carried out in Western Europe or the Russian Federation, although it is difficult to be sure in some instances. For example, there tends to be suspicions that governments are willing to develop ASAT capabilities when they are funding research on, or the development of, micro-satellites, as such systems are susceptible to being converted into ASAT weapons.
The private sector and the security of outer space Stephen Stott, New Skies Satellites Since the early days of space exploration two basic principles have governed the use of space: right of access and freedom of navigation. As of 2006, there are many new and independent operators and space has become a truly open environment, comparable to the high seas when they were of prime importance to public, private and governmental agencies for civil;commercial and military operations. This surge in space-based activity has been met with a matching surge in irresponsible use, debris, radio frequency contamination and commercial piracy.
The problem with kinetic energy weapons, apart from their questionable feasibility (and particularly the infrared homingtechnology), is the creation of debris that, just like nuclear weapons, can harm friendly satellites as well as the intended target. Indeed, the KEASAT project included the development of a sheet of Mylar plastic to hinder the scattering of the debris. This apparently proved too difficult to make. For these reasons, the hit-to-kill method has now lost favour. A new solution appears to be the ejection of the target satellite out of orbit by a micro- or nano-satellite: rather than smashing it.
