SKorea research institute forges ties with NASA: official
Seoul (AFP) Jan 27, 2008 South Korea's top research organisation said it cemented Sunday a deal with NASA to work together to develop satellites and other space technology. The deal with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) was signed at NASA's research headquarters in Moffett Field, California on Sunday, a KAIST official told AFP. A KAIST team launched the country's first small satellite in 1992. Since then South Korea, a late-comer in the space race, has launched three commercial communications satellites. South Korea plans to launch a lunar orbiter by 2020 and to send a probe to the moon five years after that. KAIST said in a statement that potential areas of collaboration with NASA's Ames Research Centre included satellite communications and navigation systems, planetary exploration, lunar science, rovers and small satellites. "This potential collaboration will be of historical significance for KAIST as well as for NASA as it will allow the two organisations to combine their expertise," KAIST president Suh Nam-Pyo said in the statement.
