1957년 이래 1999년 8월까지 약 313회의 우주발사 실패가 있었다. NASA의 '우주수송을 발전시킨다'라는 목표하에서, 제6의 목적은 우주선의 사고발생위험을 10년내에 1/40으로, 25년내에 1/140으로 낮춘다는 것이다. 이는 곧 우주개발이 아직도 얼마나 위험한 것인가를 보여주는 통계자료이다. 왜 이렇게 위험한 우주여행을 감수하면서, 우주개발에 뛰어드는 것인가? 우주개발은 경제적인 측면에서 인공위성을 이용한 통신 및 방송산업은 21세기 초에이룩될 우주산업의 가장 큰 분야가 될 전망이다. 특히, 우주의 특수한 환경인 무중력상태와 지구상보다 1,000 배나 높은 진공상태를 이용한 새로운 반도체의 개발 및 생산 그리고 신약의 개발 등이 활발하게 이루어질 것인데, 지난 1986년부터 지난달까지 운용되던 러시아의 "미르" 우주정거장에서는 수정을 생산하여 판매 하였다. 현재 우주산업은 미국, EU, 일본 등 소수 선진국들이 주도하고 있으며, 세계우주산업 시장규모는 년 평균 10% 이상 지속적인 신장이 이루어질 것으로 전망하고 있으며, 특히 민간용 이동통신산업 확대, 우주탐사활동 증대, 우주정거장사업 추진등으로 우주산업 규모는 비약적으로 신장할 것으로 예측되며, 최근 5년간 ED와 일본은 연평균 15${\sim}$20 %의 고성장을 유지하고 있다. 미국 NASA가 1993년 가을부터 1996년 10월까지 3년동안 민간기업에 기술을 이전한 결과를 보면, 거시적 안목을 가지고 우주산업을 추진해야 함을 알 수 있다. NASA는 미국 전역에서 16,300개의 일자리를 창출하였으며, NASA 의 기술 이전으로 새로 생긴 상품은 938개에 달하며, NASA가 민간에 이전한 기술을 경제적 가치로 환산하면 매년 16억 달러에 달하며, 또한 기술지원을 받은 미국기업을 5,600개가 넘는다. 또한, 경제외적인 측면에서 국가의 안보, 자주국방을 위한 정보수집을 위해 결정적인 역할을 한다. 우리나라는 외국에서 발사한 7개의 위성을 운영하고 있으며, '03년 8월 8일 고흥 외나로도에 인공위성발사장 기공식을 함으로써, 국내우주개발계획에 박차를 가하고 았다. 이러한 국가적인 우주개발계획과 함께 공군의 우주력건설에 따른 고찰이 필요하다. 우리나라는 미국과의 MTCR 협의로 인하여, 사정거리 300km 이상의 미사일발사체를 개발하지 않도록 되어 있으므로, 현실적으로 국방부(공군) 자체에서 우주발사체를 개발하는 것은 어렵다. 현대전에서 항공우주력은 곧 전쟁의 승패를 결정하는 필수적인 요소이며, 이미 전장이 우주로 화대되어 있는 현실에 있어서, 군의 우주력건설은 '우주력건설의 당위성'을 논할 때가 아니고, '어떻게 군의 우주력건설'을 하여야 하는 가 '우주력건설의 방법론'에 대한 구체적인 연구가 되어야 할 때이다. 우주의 군사적이용에 대한 제한은 미국의 주장대로 "비침략적 이용(non-aggressive use)"이 옳은 판단이며, 구소련의 "비군사적 이용(non-military)"에 대한 주장은 옳지 않다. 이러한 구 소련의 주장은 러시아정부에서는 적극적으로 주장하고 있지도 않고 현실성도 없는 주장이다. 따라서, 미국의 우주의 평화적 이용에 대한 개념에 의하면, 다목적위성의 군정찰목적으로의 이용이나, 상업위성의 군통신 이용은 자유롭다고 할 것이다. 즉, 공군은 군정찰위성, 통신위성 개발을 민간연구부서와 자유롭게 할 수 있다고 본다, 다만, 미국과의 MTCR 협정상 우주발사체 개발에 대해서는 제한을 받고 있으나, 우주발사체개발은 한국항공우주연구원에 위임하고, 궤도에 있는 위성을 운용하면 문제가 없다고 본다. 다목적위성은 주 임무가 Remote Sensing 인데 High resolution 특히 SAR 센서는 주로 군사목적으로 이용되고 있다. 따라서, 다목적위성은 공군과 한국항공우주연구원, 국방과학연구소간의 공동으로 연구개발을 할 수 있는 제도가 마련되어야 한다. 미 공군도 현재 사용 중인 발사체를 단계적으로 제거하며 기업 발사체 이용을 증가시킨다. 또한, 군 통신의 특수성 때문에 민수용 통신 및 방송 서비스와는 독립적으로 운영되어 왔으나 군 통신 중계기와 민간 통신 중계기가 혼합되어 운용됨으로써 군 위성 통신의 단독에서 오는 경제적인 부담을 줄이기 위한 방안으로 각광을 받고 있다. 걸프전에서도 미국은 상용통신위성을 군 통신에 사용하였다. 우리나라의 우주과학기술 연구에의 착수는 다른 나라들과의 경제적 개발 정도와 비교해 볼 때 늦었으며, 우주개발예산 또한 상대적으로 일본은 2조원/년인데 비하여 우리는 5조원/15년으로 부족하다. 우주산업은 산업의 특성상 초기 육성기간은 산업체 수익사업으로 전개될 수 없으므로, 정부예산에 의한 사업추진이 불가피하다. 외국의 경우에도 우주개발 프로그램은 모두 정부사업이며, 최근 들어 통신 방송위성 등 극히 제한된 분야에 한해 민간사업이 추진되고 있을 뿐이다. 더욱이 우리나라와 같이 우주산업이 초창기에 있는 경우에는 이러한 필요성이 더욱 절박하며, 정부사업의 추진 시에도 정부지원예산의 회수를 전제로 하지 않는 정부출현 혹은 투자사업으로 추진되어야하는 것이 필수적 요소이다. 우주연구인력수준에 있어서도, 세계적으로 우주개발선전국들에 비하여 예산이 부족하며, 전문인력도 부족하다. 따라서, 국가 우주개발의 효율적이고 체계적인 추진과 사업 추진시의 힘의 분산 및 혼돈을 방지하기 위해서도 한국의 우주개발 체계에 대한 선명한 제시와 함께 국내 우주개발 관련 법령의 제정이 시급하다. 또한, 우리나라 우주개발은 각기다른 법령하에 각기 다른 주무부처에서 사업을 진행하고 있으므로, 국가적으로 집중적인 우주개발체제를 확립하는 것이 필요하다. 우주력건설을 위해서는 항공우주연구분야 즉 국방과학연구소와 한국항공우주연구원의 항공우주분야를 어떻게 협력 또는 통합하느냐에 대한 연구이전에, 우주력을 어떻게 운용할 것인가에 대한 근본적인 전략과 정책을 수립할 '우주작전본부'를 공군에 설립하는 것이 선과제이다.'우주작전본부'를 설립하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 국방부와 합참의 전략적인 의사결정이 필요하다. 특히, 일본의 군의 우주력건설에 대한 계획을 참고하여, 자주국방을 위한 최소한의 군사목적의 정찰위성, 통신위성, 우주감시체계의 확보가 필요하다. MTCR협정 등의 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 한국항공우주연구원의 발사체개발을 이용하고, 또한 다목적위성, 통신위성개발을 활용하기 위하여 국방예산을 확보하여야 하겠으며, 우선적으로 일본의 정찰위성 운용예산인 약 2조 5천억원정도의 우주예산을 국방부에서 먼저 확보할 필요가 있다.

This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.
