Abstract
The Asian space race is a purported race among several Asian countries to achieve scientific and technological advancements in space. The exploration of Outer space is of strategic concern to a growing number of countries worldwide. Earth's orbit and Manned spaceflight are becoming the main battleground to ensure national security. In past and recent years, a number of Asian nations have become serious contenders in the "race" to control space. Asian space powers of the nine (or eleven if one counts Russia and Ukraine separate from the Soviet Union) countries that have successfully launched a satellite independently into orbit, five are Asian countries: Japan, China, India, Israel and Iran. Kazakhstan does not have its own rocket technology and hosts the Baikonur Cosmodrome launch facility which is used by Russia under a lease agreement of $150 million annually. Iraq developed and tested the Tammouz space launch vehicle without a satellite on 5 December 1989. According to a press release by the Iraqi News Agency the warhead completed 6 orbits, but this was not confirmed by international observers North Korea has also claimed to have launched satellites Kwangmyongsong by its own launchers twice (in 31 August 1988 and in 5 April 2009), however according to international observers, those rockets fell into the North Pacific without deploying any satellites in orbit. South Korea plans to enter the Asian space club in 2009 and Indonesia, Taiwan, Pakistan, Malaysia, Turkey are claimed to have some kind of space program as well.
