英国国防部原科学顾问梅森,在不久前召开的联合国第二届裁减军备会议上主张,联合国自行发射可用来监视国际纠纷的侦察卫星。他认为,利用最近几年的技术成就,可以制造造价不高的高性能小型卫星,有的卫星(例如法国的斯波特地球观测卫星)尽管不是军用卫星,也有一定的侦察能力,可在监视国际纠纷中应用。他认为,应当发射每颗重量约为500公斤的小型卫星,并将它们按15～20颗编为一队,每个卫星编队在距地面约300公里的低轨道上对海湾和其它特定地区实施监视。监视装置可识别1米的物体,将其发现的
Mason, former adviser to the Defense Ministry, advocated at the UN’s second UN Conference on Armaments Reduction recently that the United Nations should launch its own reconnaissance satellites that can be used to monitor international disputes. He believes that using the technological achievements of recent years, it is possible to manufacture low-cost high-performance small satellites. Some satellites (such as France’s Earth Observation Satellite) have some capability of reconnaissance though they are not military satellites. Application in International Dispute. In his opinion, small satellites weighing about 500 kilograms each should be launched and organized into teams of 15-20. Each satellite formation should be deployed to the Gulf and other special areas on a low orbit about 300 km above the ground Surveillance. Surveillance device can identify 1 meter objects, will be found
