　　Throughout history soldiers have fought bloody battles in order to control the high ground．There is no doubt that this is a tactical(战术的)necessity．Standing above your enemy is an advantage that often leads to victory．

　　Nowadays, high ground does not just mean hill-tops．It also means space, which has become an increasingly important part of military strategy(军事战略)．

　　With its more advanced satellite technologies, America is the major power in space．And now the US Air Force has put into service a new weapon designed to jam enemy satellite communications．It is an important step toward US control of space．

　　The so-called Counter Communications System(反卫星通信系统)was declared operational on November 1．The ground-based system uses electromagnetic radio frequencies(无线电磁波)to stop enemy satellites working on a short-term basis．

　　“A short-term effect ensures that during the time of need, the enemy’s space-based capability(能力)is reduced,"said a US military official．“Following the time of need, their capabilities can return to its original state．”

　　The system is made up of an antenna(天线), transmitters(发射机)and receivers and can be easily transported around in a vehicle．

　　To control space was one of four aims of a national space policy started by former president Bill Clinton in 1996．The goal is to make sure US forces can rely on space-based services and to deny an enemy any similar benefits．

　　The US military has experimented with several"anti-satellite"weapons, including lasers, to destroy or damage enemy units．

　　Theresa Hitchens, vice president of the Center for Defence Information in Washington, welcomed the new system as long as it does not create rubbish that could threaten global use of space．She believed it should not destroy satellites, only stop them working for a while．

　　Unfortunately, it seems that we are not going to limit our goal for'space control'to non-violent systems,"she said, raising the danger of a space arms race．

　　To change the balance of power in space the EU and China are working together on the Galileo project．By 2008 the system will be in place as an alternative to the Americans'global positioning service．
