Top-Secret Kodak Moment In Space Shakes Global Security
New satellite images of a Pakistani nuclear facility show howsnapshots could be used to influence diplomacy.
By Alexander Colhoun, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
The images are clear and, according to Jim Pike, clearly troubling.
Posted on the Web site of the Federation of American Scientists, thehigh-resolution satellite pictures reveal to civilian eyes for thefirst time a completed nuclear reactor and missile base in Khushab,Pakistan.
To Mr. Pike and other members of the Federation of AmericanScientists (FAS), the images show the danger of Pakistan's nuclearprogram. As President Clinton this week travels to India andPakistan, they should serve as a reminder that Pakistan must befirmly dealt with, says the FAS.
But to policy experts worldwide, the images are an indication of howthe commercialization of ever-clearer satellite images promises toreshape the global diplomatic landscape.
Never before have private organizations been able to buy satellitephotos of such high quality and detail - new "superbirds" candistinguish objects the size of a tank. Moreover, with morecommercial satellites going up each year, the opportunity forpurchasing images is only increasing.
In turn, the emerging marketplace for high-resolution pictures isclashing with issues of privacy and national sovereignty as countriesworry that precious information could be sold to the highest bidder.
"The deployment of commercially operated, satellite-based cameras isfurthering the denationalization of the planet's informationinfrastructure," says Gernot Brodnig of Harvard's Kennedy School ofGovernment in Cambridge, Mass. "In today's world, control ofstrategic information is power - who has it, when, and how."
Already the purview of geologists, city-planners, and farmers, images
from lower-resolution cameras have been used since the 1970s, but astechnology pulses forward, higher- and higher-resolution cameras havebecome more available.
Satellites launched from the US are licensed by the Department ofCommerce, and the US reserves the power of "shutter control," meaningit can decide when and where images can and can not be taken. Butsatellites launched from other countries operate under the UnitedNations' "open-skies doctrine," which allows the earth to bephotographed by anyone, anywhere, and at any time - with very fewexceptions.
In some cases, this can be a benefit to the US and the world.Satellite images provided evidence of mass graves in Bosnia in 1995and documented Chernobyl's burning reactor No. 4 in 1986.
But some analysts are concerned that America has lost control of theskies. Unable to exercise shutter control on foreign-ownedsatellites, commercial operators are free to monitor anything fromtroop movements to secret training facilities.
In this brave new world of private satellite imaging, though, Pikesays the distribution of satellite images is for now controlled bytwo old-fashioned factors: supply and demand. For example,Soyuzcarta, the commercial sales arm of a Russian mapping agency,won't sell Pike images of China. Why? China is its main customer.
"The probability Soyuzcarta will sell you an image is directlyproportional to how boring it is," says Pike, a defense analyst atFAS. "The more interesting it is, the less likely we'll see it."
And supposing that Soyuzcarta does agree to take images forcommercial purposes, getting the perfect shot is complex.
Clouds cover 75 percent of the earth at all times, and somesatellites take days to get back over their target.
Yet this situation is sure to change, and swiftly. Defense analystsexpect three new satellites with one-meter resolution cameras to bein space within the next year. The days of America's virtual monopolyof the skies are dwindling.
"In the past, America had undenied access to space," says JackSpencer, a national-security analyst at the Heritage Foundation inWashington. 'We knew what [our enemies] were doing and they didn't."
Case in point: In 1991, during the Gulf war, the US requested someblackouts on picture-taking by non-American commercially operatedsatellites over the Gulf. The goal was to keep Gen. NormanSchwarzkopfs so-called left-hook flanking operation a secret.Diplomacy worked, but the question remains: Will private operatorsalways serve America's security interests?
The answer to this question is uncertain, but for now, privateorganizations are likely to continue their own spying. "The use ofthis imagery is a powerful tool," says Pike. '"We're learning thingswe could not have. The jury is still out on how that will influencepolicy, but it gives us greater potential than we'd otherwise have."
