Soyuz Flights to the International Space Station John Macco - SU 1457 / Jim Roth - SU 4694 The International Space Station has been in space since the first element was launched on November 20, 1988. With the launch of Soyuz TM-31 and the Expedition-1 crew on October 31, 2000, the ISS has been continuously manned. Their main work was to activate the critical life sup- port systems and conduct the first scientific work onboard the space station.

The KSLV I Launch and South Korea's Space Strategy
The KSLV I Launch and South Korea’s Space Strategy - Council on Fo... http://www.cfr.org/south-korea/kslv-launch-south-koreas-space-strateg... Current Issues in U.S.-ROK Relations Author: James Clay Moltz, Professor, Naval Postgraduate School Overview South Korea (the Republic of Korea, or ROK) has successfully established its place in the international shipbuilding, electronics, and automobile industries. Yet despite major investments in space technology, the ROK is still waiting for a breakthrough in its efforts to launch a satellite into orbit. Its third attempt is currently scheduled to take place at the Naro Space Center on October 26, 2012. In the midst of double-digit increases in Chinese and Indian space budgets and the expansion of Japan's space program to include military activities, what is South Korea's strategy for Publisher Asia's emerging space competition? And how likely is it to accomplish its Council on Foreign Relations Press goals, given its late entry into this complex high-tech sector? Release Date October 2012 After years of technological underdevelopment, the ROK created the Korean Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) in 1989, just as it was undergoing democratization and opening up to the outside world. Its initial strategy focused on using import substitution to establish a national capability for operating foreign-produced satellites, with the intention of eventually building its own communications and remote-sensing spacecraft. During this time, KARI benefited from cooperation with Britain, the United States, and other foreign satellite manufacturers. In conjunction with its satellite program, KARI also began experiments in sounding-rocket technology in the 1990s. -
Satellites, Missiles and the Geopolitics of East Asia
Satellites, missiles and the geopolitics of East Asia Tim Beal Retired academic (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand) Email: [email protected] contribution to North Korea: Political, Economic and Social Issues Abstract In the first half of February 2016 a number of satellites were launched; two by Japan, three by the US, one each by Russia and China and one by North Korea. The other launches went unremarked outside the scientific community but the North Korean satellite was another matter. The satellite launch was censured by the UN Security Council in Resolution 2270 on 2 March which condemned it because it ‘used ballistic missile technology’. This was curious on three counts. One is that all satellites are launched by ballistic rockets so those other satellites launched at that period, and the thousands previously put into orbit, also ‘used ballistic missile technology’ just as much as the North Korean one. Secondly, experts tend to agree with Michael Elleman of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London that ‘The Unha satellite launcher is ill-suited for use as a ballistic missile’.[Elleman, 2016] Thirdly, missiles per se are not illegal under international law although there are a number of bilateral and multilateral agreements which restrict them. The satellite launch followed on from a nuclear test the previous month and both were connected and both were condemned by Resolution 2270. The test of what was claimed to be a hydrogen bomb was a further stage in North Korea’s effort to develop a nuclear deterrent against the United States and both it and the satellite launch took place in the run up to the annual spring military exercises carried out by the US and South Korea. -

Women Challenge US Military Policy and Practice in East Asia
Redefining Security: Women Challenge US. Military Policy and Practice in East Asia Gwyn Kirk and Carolyn Bowen Francist I. INTRODUCTION There is a core contradiction inherent in U.S. military policy and practice in East Asia. The security treaties and the Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs) that provide for U.S. bases, military operations, and port visits in South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines also compromise the security of local people. Negative social effects of the U.S. military presence on host communities include military prostitution, the abuse of local women, and the dire situation of mixed-race children fathered by U.S. military men. Grassroots organizations in South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines are trying to assist women and children in these communi- ties by providing services and pushing for reform of the SOFAs. This arti- cle begins by examining the history and current status of U.S. military bases in South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines, and the U.S. justifica- tions for maintaining a strong military presence in East Asia. It will then discuss the effects of military training and culture on the host communi- ties. The article will go on to provide a critique of the SOFAs. Finally, this article reviews grassroots activism and its efficacy. The article urges that significant changes in U.S. military policy and practice are necessary to safeguard host communities in East Asia from crime committed by U.S. military personnel, and to provide for the needs of mixed-race Amerasian © 2000, THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. t Gwyn Kirk is a member of the San Francisco Bay Area Okinawa Peace Network. -
