Satellite-killer not a one-off, India working on star wars armoury
印度正在研製“星球大戰”武器，“衛星殺手”僅為其中之一
NEW DELHI: After successfully testing an anti-satellite (ASat) missile last month, India is now also working to develop other counterspace capabilities like directed energy weapons (DEWs) and co-orbital killers as well as the ability to protect its own satellites from electronic or physical attacks.
新德里:繼上月成功測試反衛星導彈後，印度不僅也在努力發展其他反空間能力，如定向能武器和共軌殺手，而且也在發展保護本國衛星免受電子或物理攻擊的能力。
“We are working on a number of technologies like DEWs, lasers, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and co-orbital weapons etc. I can’t divulge the details, but we are taking them forward,” said DRDO chief G Satheesh Reddy on Saturday. The A-Sat missile that destroyed the Microsat-R satellite, at an altitude of 283-km in the low-earth orbit (LEO) on March 27, was a “directascent, kinetic kill” weapon. It’s “feasible” to target multiple satellites with multiple launches of the three-stage interceptor missile, which can go up to 1,000 km into space," said the DRDO chief.
週六，印度國防研究與發展組織(DRDO)負責人雷迪表示：“我們正在研究一些技術，如定向能武器、激光武器、電磁脈衝武器以及共軌武器等。我不能透露細節，不過這些項目正在推進。3月27日，在近地軌道283公里高空摧毀Microsat-R衛星的反衛星導彈是一種“定向動能殺傷”武器。”
A coorbital weapon, in turn, is basically a satellite equipped with some explosive, weapon or DEW device, which is first put into orbit and then later manoeuvred to target the enemy satellite. Apart from these kinetic kill weapons, other ASAT weapons like lasers jammers, EMP and high-powered microwaves are being rapidly developed by China, which first tested an A-Sat missile against a LEO weather satellite in January 2007.
另一方面，共軌武器基本上是一顆裝備了一些爆炸物、武器或定向能武器裝置的衛星。共軌武器先被送入軌道，然後被用來瞄準敵方衛星。除研發些動能殺傷武器，中國也在研製激光干擾器、電磁脈衝和高能微波等反衛星武器。2007年1月，中國首次對低空軌道氣象衛星試射了一枚反衛星導彈。
Trying to play catch-up, sources say India’s long-term aim is to develop A-Sat weapons against satellites in both LEO and GEO-synchronous orbits as a credible deterrence against emerging threats to its growing spacebased assets. “Conversely, EMP hardening of our satellites and sensors, apart from other measures, can be done to protect them from our adversaries,” said a source.
消息人士稱，印度試圖奮起直追，其長期目標是研發針對近地軌道和地球同步軌道衛星的反衛星武器，以此作為一種可靠的威懾力量，應對其太空資產面臨的新威脅。
"There is a plan to launch mini-satellites on demand for the armed forces if the main satellites are targeted,” said a source. DRDO for long has also been running programmes on a wide variety of DEWs like high-energy lasers and highpowered microwaves capable of destroying aerial and ground-based targets, but whether they can be successfully developed into A-Sat weapons remains to be seen.
一名消息人士表示:“如果主要衛星成為目標，我們可以計劃根據軍隊的需求發射小型衛星。”長期以來，DRDO也一直在進行各種各樣的定向能武器項目，比如高能激光和高能微波，能夠摧毀空中和地面目標，不過能否成功發展成反衛星武器還有待觀察。

India should forget Pakistan (they are doomed) and develop parity with China at all levels (economy, industrialization, technology, defence, manufacturing, etc). China was a backward country 30 years ago. Look at them now. India has the same (or better) opportunity. Seize it.
印度應該把巴基斯坦擱一邊，全面發展各行各業，爭取實現和中國平起平坐。30年前，中國是一個落後的國家，現在看看人家的發展。印度也有同樣(或更好)的機會，要抓住這個機會。

In order to make a country strong it has to achieve basic four most important factors i.e., 1) Strong Economy 2) Strong Defence forces 3) Unity and 4) Able political leadership with a vision to take forward the country. It appears that the present Govt. is working in this direction to lead the country.
一個國家要強大，必須具備四個最重要的因素：
1)強大的經濟
2)強大的國防
3)團結
4)有遠見的政治領袖。
現在的印度政府似乎正朝著這個方向努力。

On one hand, we have a visionary like Modi who is helping India develop space weapons and into a futuristic, powerful nation, and on the other hand we have the small-minded opposition headed by Congress who can''t think beyond loan waivers, charity and appeasement politics. It is time we made the right choice for the sake of our nation.
