Abstract

Major countries in space field such as the United States, China and Russia have not only general ground-based space capabilities, but also maritime-based space capabilities. Maritime-based space systems include a maritime-based space surveillance system, a maritime-based space launch vehicle, and a maritime-based space information transmission system, and these maritime-based systems complement the ground-based space systems. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the maritime-based space capabilities of major countries, and propose the future direction for south Korea's maritime-based space capabilities. The maritime-based space system is essential due to the geographical characteristics of south Korea, which has three sides of the ocean, and it is considered an one of important strategic element to become the seven major country in the space field.

미국, 중국, 러시아 등 우주 선진국들은 일반적인 지상기반의 우주능력뿐만 아니라 해상기반의 우주능력도 보유하고 있다. 해상기반 우주시스템에는 해상기반 우주감시시스템, 해상기반 우주발사체, 해상기반 우주정보 송·수신 시스템 등이 있으며, 이러한 해상기반의 시스템들은 지상기반의 우주시스템들을 보완해주는 역할을 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 주요국가의 해상기반 우주능력을 분석하고, 이를 토대로 우리나라의 해상기반 우주능력의 발전방향을 제안한다. 삼면이 바다인 우리나라의 지리적 특성상 해상기반의 우주시스템은 필수적이며, 우주분야 7대강국으로 발돋움하기 위한 중요한 전략적 요소라고 판단된다.
