India says debris from its controversialanti-satellite weapons test will 'vanish' in just 45 days as US officialsreveal they're tracking more than 250 PIECES of space junk created by the blast

印度表示，其有爭(zhēng)議的反衛(wèi)星武器試驗(yàn)的碎片將在45天內(nèi)“消失”。美國(guó)官員透露，他們正在追蹤爆炸產(chǎn)生的250多塊太空垃圾

Officials say debris from an Indian anti-satellite weapons test conductedearlier this week will likely burn up and 'vanish' in a matter of weeks, amidoutcry over its potential to the already pressing issue of space junk inEarth's vicinity.

印度官員說(shuō)，印度本周早些時(shí)候進(jìn)行的一次反衛(wèi)星武器試驗(yàn)的碎片可能會(huì)在幾周內(nèi)燃燒殆盡，并“消失”。外界對(duì)這次試驗(yàn)可能導(dǎo)致地球附近地區(qū)的太空垃圾問(wèn)題已經(jīng)迫在眉睫表示強(qiáng)烈不滿。

Acting U.S. Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said on Thursday heexpected debris from the destroyed satellite test to eventually burn up in theatmosphere instead of creating a lasting debris field that could threaten otherorbiting craft.

美國(guó)代理國(guó)防部長(zhǎng)帕特里克·沙納漢周四表示，他預(yù)計(jì)被摧毀衛(wèi)星測(cè)試的碎片最終會(huì)在大氣層中燃燒，而不是形成一個(gè)可能威脅其他軌道飛行器的持久碎片場(chǎng)。

The comments came after an estimation by India's top defense scientistthat the debris would burn up in about 45 days.

此前，印度最高國(guó)防科學(xué)家估計(jì)，這些殘骸將在45天左右燃燒殆盡。

The Pentagon said on Wednesday the U.S. military´s Strategic Command wastracking more than 250 pieces of debris from India´s missile test and wouldissue close-approach notifications as required until the debris enters theEarth's atmosphere.

五角大樓周三表示，美國(guó)軍方戰(zhàn)略司令部正在追蹤來(lái)自印度導(dǎo)彈試驗(yàn)的250多塊碎片，并將根據(jù)要求發(fā)出近距離通知，直到碎片進(jìn)入地球大氣層。

The official added that there was no information so far to cast doubt onthe claims made by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

這位官員補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，目前還沒(méi)有信息對(duì)印度總理納倫德拉·莫迪的說(shuō)法表示懷疑。

Critics say such technology, known to be possessed only by the UnitedStates, Russia and China, raises the prospect of an arms race in outer space,besides posing a hazard by creating a cloud of fragments that could persist foryears.

批評(píng)人士說(shuō)，這種已知只有美國(guó)、俄羅斯和中國(guó)擁有的技術(shù)，增加了在外層空間進(jìn)行軍備競(jìng)賽的可能性，此外還會(huì)制造出可能持續(xù)數(shù)年的碎片云，構(gòu)成危險(xiǎn)。

Shanahan said the Indian test was a reminder about how space was becomingincreasingly contested, and underscored the necessity of creating a SpaceCommand - a stepping stone toward President Donald Trump goal of creating aSpace Force.

沙納漢表示，印度的這次試驗(yàn)提醒人們，太空問(wèn)題正變得越來(lái)越有爭(zhēng)議。他還強(qiáng)調(diào)了建立太空司令部的必要性，這是川普總統(tǒng)建立太空部隊(duì)目標(biāo)的墊腳石。

Maybe they should spend some money on their non-existent infrastructureinstead of rockets.

The US is responsible for the most debris in space, followed by Russia andChina. Look it up. The amount of hypocrisy and uninformed opinion here isastounding.

There's a huge difference between deliberately placed and planned fordebris and what is essentially a shotgun scatter blast of debris heading out inall sorts of random directions. If you don't understand the difference, standin a bowling lane and let me roll a ball past in the lane next to you. That'sthe US debris. Now stand in the same lane and let me throw a grenade at you.That is India's debris.

故意放置和規(guī)劃的碎片與散彈槍爆炸產(chǎn)生的碎片向各種隨機(jī)方向移動(dòng)有很大的區(qū)別。如果你不明白其中的區(qū)別（那我告訴你）：打保齡球的時(shí)候不小心把球滾過(guò)你旁邊的保齡球道——那是美國(guó)的殘??；站在同一條巷子里，向你扔一枚手榴彈——這是印度的殘骸。

It's because the debris field you create endangers every other satellitein orbit. Do it again and the US or China should shoot every single one of yoursatellites out of the sky. And yes, we have already proven that we have thecapability.
