초록

미·중간 패권경쟁과 최근 미·러간 동유럽(우크라이나)에서의 군사적 경쟁에서 증명한 것처럼, 대부분의 안보 전문가들은 21세기 미국의 가장 큰 안보위협은 강대국간 경쟁의 복원이라고 평가하고 있다. 상기 강대국간 패권경쟁의 핵심수단은 군사력이며, 이러한 군사력 운용의 효율과 효과성을 극대화하는 수단은 단연 우주력(space power)이다. 이를 반영하듯 최근 미국과 중·러간 우주패권경쟁이 전(全) 분야로 확대되고 있다. 상기한 전략환경하에서 우리나라도 우주에서의 국익을 보호하고 국민의 생명과 재산을 보호하기 위해 도약적인 국가 우주력 발전이 필요하다. 우리나라는 2021년 6월 한·미 미사일 지침 해제 및 한국의 '아르테미스' 프로젝트 참가 결정을 계기로 도약적 우주력 발전을 위한 계기가 마련되었다. 반면, 한반도의 지정학적 위치의 제한으로 현(現) '나로' 우주센터에서 우주 발사체를 활용하여 우주자산을 궤도에 올려놓는 것은 많은 제한사항이 존재한다. 발사방향 제한, 충분한 안전공간확보 불가 및 지원시설 구축 제한 등 선진국 우주센터와 비교해 많은 제한사항이 존재한다. 본고에서는 현(現) '나로' 우주센터 입지조건을 선진국 우주센터와 비교하고 제한사항을 식별하고, 이를 상쇄할 수 있는 국내 후보지를 제시하는 데 있다.

Witnessing current military conflicts in South China Sea and Eastern Europe, most defense analysts evaluate one of the most serious security threat toward the US is coming from the superpower competitions with Russia and China. The main means for such super power hegemonic competitions is military power and space power is a key enabler to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of military employment. Reflecting above circumstances, the space hegemonic competition between the Unites States and China is spreading into all aspects of national powers. Under such an environment, R.O.K needs to significantly develop national space power to preserve life and assets of people in space. On the other hand, the R.O.K has a lot of limitations in launching space assets into orbits by land-based space rockets due to its geographic locations. The limitation of rocket launching direction, the failure to secure a significant area enough to secure safety and the limitation to secure open area enough to build associated facilities are among them. On this paper, I will suggest the need to build the 2nd space rocket launching site after analyzing a lot of short-falls the current 'Naro' space center face, compared to those of advanced space powers around the world.
