INITIATION TOWARDS OUTER SPACE SECURITY

 

Even in this technological era, we have yet to reach a consensus on where space begins and ends. However, one thing is clear: space plays an essential role in our daily lives. Looking back to 1957, approximately 8,378 satellites have been launched into space. Of these, around 4,987 satellites remain in orbit, operated by more than 40 countries worldwide.

Safeguarding space and ensuring its peaceful use is a legitimate concern for every nation, whether they are space-capable or not. Space exploration significantly drives technological development, which is important for human advancement. Communication satellites provide access to remote and disconnected regions, bridging the digital divide. Space technology empowers us to monitor the pace and impact of global warming, essential for guiding mitigation efforts. Satellites also contribute to weather forecasting, disaster management, telecommunications, agriculture planning, and natural resource conservation—all of which make substantial contributions to the global economy and increasingly depend on the utilization of outer space.

While we do not live among the clouds, our collective prosperity on Earth is deeply connected to our advancements in space. Any unnecessary interference with space utilization would disrupt our daily lives. Just as joy comes with sorrow, advantages come with responsibilities, and reliance comes with vulnerability. These intertwined factors underscore the urgent need for greater space security.

Various space systems have dual-use applications. As technological innovation in space progresses, the risk of space becoming a battleground increases significantly. Preventing the deployment of weapons in outer space is important to ensuring global security and maintaining strategic stability.        

OUTER SPACE SECURITY 


One of the most compelling examples of collaborative space exploration is the International Space Station (ISS), which demonstrates the benefits of joint efforts in space research. As one of the most sophisticated scientific ventures, the ISS involves cooperation among five space agencies representing 16 countries. Regardless of whether space is viewed as the "final frontier," there should be no borders in our collaboration there.

Following this success, Chandrayaan-2 became India’s second moon mission, launched in 2019. It was decided that the mission would be carried aboard a GSLV rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. Origin Initially, Chandrayaan-2 was planned as a collaborative mission between ISRO and Russia. An agreement was signed in 2007 between the two agencies to jointly develop and launch the orbiter and lander in 2013. However, according to  The Hindu , the Russian space agency Roscosmos faced significant delays...

HATHRAS RAPE AND MURDER: CREMATION IS AT STAKE

Image source- Google Image by- Shweta sengar Our culture is deeply rooted in rituals and customs, from birth to death. We enjoy autonomy to make decisions during our lifetime—and this extends even to our bodily integrity after death through legal instruments like wills. Growing up in a democratic country, we recognize the importance of fundamental rights. Our Constitution has expanded its horizons to grant the right to posthumous bodily integrity, reinforcing the value of dignity in death. Since the landmark judgment in  Parmanand Katara v. Union of India & Ors.  (1989), the right to a decent burial has been interpreted as part of the right to live with dignity under Article 21 of the Constitution. The Supreme Court has upheld this interpretation in several subsequent rulings. Furthermore, in  Ashray Adhikar Abhiyan v. Union of India  (2002) , the Court held that the State is under an obligation to ensure proper burial in accordance with the religious beliefs of...

K2-18B: A Rare Exoplanet That Could Support Life Astronomers have discovered approximately 3,706 exoplanets to date; however, none have shown conditions similar to those of Earth. Among these discoveries,  K2-18b  stands out as a particularly unique and rare find — a planet with characteristics that suggest it could potentially support life. Discovery and Location K2-18b was discovered by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope and is located approximately 110 light-years away from Earth. What makes this exoplanet remarkable is that it lies within the  habitable zone  of its star — the region where conditions might be right for liquid water to exist, a key ingredient for life as we know it. Habitability and Distinctions K2-18b is the first known exoplanet situated outside our solar system that exhibits both water vapor in its atmosphere and temperatures that may allow for liquid water to exist. However, this does not make it an “Earth twin.” In fact, K2-18b and Earth are va...
