UNIT 3 SPACE EXPLORATION: A TRIUMPH OF MODERN SCIENCE The problems of space exploration, as we know, capture the imagination of many people. Now, what is space exploration? It may be described as the investigation, by means of spacecraft, of all the riches of the universe beyond the atmosphere of the Earth. Spacecraft operating above the Earth's atmosphere include varied devices such as sounding rockets, Earth satellites, lunar, planetary and deep space probes. In 1957 the Soviet Union successfully launched the world's first satellite ', Sputnik I, thus achieving the greatest triumph of Soviet science and technology, which is an impressive achievement of the entire socialist system. This feat set in motion other events leading to the landing by the United States of the first two men on the Moon (1969) and to a series of other space exploration efforts by other countries continuing into the future. Because of these remarkable achievements it seems certain that the future happenings in this area will yield even more extraordinary feats 2 and results. From the press and scientific magazines we know that communications satellites 3 are expected to increase in capacity and to be less expensive than earlier models. Already a number of countries have large-capacity domestic satellite systems augmenting conventional systems. The significance of a satellite system for a developing country, for example, is that a modern communications system can be installed without the need for construction of extensive land-based facilities. Space-based solar power plants are no longer just the figment of the imagination of science-fiction writers. It was found that solar plants based in space were perhaps the most imaginative and potentially significant prospect for the uti- [57] lization of space in the service of mankind. The concept provides for the setting up in space of very large power stations placed in geostationary synchronous orbits and beaming the electricity generated from solar energy to the earth's surface by low-energy-density microwaves. At the earth station the electricity would be converted into electric power for distribution in existing electricity systems. The world's interest in outer space has grown steadily with the advance of space technology. The item relating to the peaceful uses of outer space was first placed on the General Assembly's agenda in 1958 and it has been inscribed every year since then. In 1959, the General Assembly established the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space to be the focal point of the United Nations action in this field. The new Committee was requested to review, as appropriate, the area of international co-operation, arid study practical and feasible means for giving effect to programmes in the peaceful uses of outer space which could appropriately be undertaken under the United Nations auspices. Now it is a widely recognized principle that the exploration and use of outer space should be only for the betterment of mankind and to the benefit of States irrespective of the stage of their economic or scientific development. States should be guided by the following principles: (a) International law, including the Charter of the United Nations, applies to outer space and celestial bodies; (b) Outer space and celestial bodies are free for exploration and use by all States in conformity with international law and are not subject to national appropriation. The work in the field of outer space has led to four international instruments dealing with: the exploration and peaceful uses of outer space; the rescue of astronauts and the return of objects launched into outer space; liability for damage caused by space objects; and registration of objects launched into outer space. In 1963 the General Assembly unanimously adopted the Declaration of Legal Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space. It also recommended that consideration be given to incorporating legal principles in an international agreement. That led to the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies. The Treaty, which includes the principles of the Declaration, was opened for signature on 27 January 1967 and came into force on 10 October 1967. [58] The Treaty provides that space exploration shall be carried out for the benefit of all countries, irrespective of their degree of economic or scientific development. It shall be the province of all mankind and not subject to national appropriation. In addition, outer space shall be used exclusively for peaceful purposes. Nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction are not to be placed in orbit around the earth or stationed in space, nor is outer space to be used for any military purpose. Under the Treaty, States are responsible for national activities in space and for damage caused by objects launched into outer space by them or from their territory. States shall publicize their space activities. A State which registers an object launched into outer space shall retain jurisdiction and control over it and over any personnel thereof while in outer space or on a celestial body. Also, parties to the Treaty agree that space installations and space vehicles shall be open to representatives of other Parties on a reciprocal basis. Other provisions of the Treaty call for assisting astronauts, when needed, and for avoiding harmful contamination of outer space and of adverse changes in the earth's environment resulting from the introduction of extraterrestrial matter. Parties agree to carry on outer space activities in accordance with international law. (From newspapers) COMMENTARY 1. launched the world's first satellite впервые в мире запустил спутник.
