El programa espacial japonés (1954-2003)
Resumen
El Programa Espacial Japonés representa un caso singular dentro de la historia espacial contemporánea por haberse desarrollado bajo un marco pacifista y en estrecha relación con Estados Unidos, sin integrarse plenamente a la lógica militar de la Guerra Fría. Analizamos su evolución entre 1954 y 2003, desde la creación del AVSA hasta el surgimiento de JAXA. Se distinguen tres etapas: los orígenes científico-académicos, la consolidación institucional y la crisis de los años noventa que condujo a su unificación. El estudio demuestra que la trayectoria japonesa estuvo marcada por tensiones entre autonomía tecnológica, dependencia externa, fragmentación burocrática y objetivos civiles y estratégicos.
