印度是世界上最穷的20个国家之一,为什么耗费大量的财力实施空间计划?印度的空间计划从宣传和普及卫星应用开始,以发射实用卫星为主。印度的空间活动已进入应用阶段,但因运载能力不足,技术和工业落后,故使它的活动处于既要自力更生,又摆脱不了对外国的依赖。 India is one of the 20 poorest countries in the world. Why spend a lot of money on space planning? India’s space program starts with the promotion and popularization of satellite applications, and the launch of practical satellites. India’s space activities have entered the application stage. However, due to the lack of carrying capacity and backward technology and industry, its activities are not only dependent on self-reliance, but also cannot rely on foreign countries.
