韩国在2009年和2010年两次尝试发射卫星,均以失败告终。这次突然取消发射对于一个标榜自己为科技强国的国家来说,是场不大不小的尴尬。最重要的是,这加大了朝鲜通过成功发射朝鲜半岛上第一颗卫星来赢得宣传优势的可能性。
A senior South Korean foreign ministry official told the Financial Times this week that Seoul believes North Korea is in advanced preparations for a launch, having seen satellite images from its rocket site at Sohae, near the Chinese border. However, he added that it was not clear when or whether this would happen. The official said a launch might be intended as a show of force aimed at South Korea’s next president, who will take office in February following an election next month.
韩国外交部一名高级官员本周向英国《金融时报》表示,韩国政府在看过朝中边境附近的朝鲜西海火箭发射场(Sohae)的卫星照片后,认为朝鲜已经在进行卫星发射前的准备工作。不过,他补充道,还不能确定朝鲜是否会发射卫星、会在何时发射卫星。这名官员表示,朝鲜计划发射卫星可能是为了给韩国新任总统一个下马威。下个月韩国将举行总统选举,新总统将于明年2月份就职。
North Korea argues that it is just as entitled to launch satellites as its southern rival. However, it is banned from doing so under a 2006 resolution by the UN Security Council forbidding it from using ballistic missile technology – similar to satellite launch technology – issued after Pyongyang claimed to have tested a nuclear warhead.
