JAKARTA In an effort to advance the South Korean space industry, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has joined the global alliance, namely the Langit Giant Radio Telescope Observatory (SKAO).
This partnership was disclosed by the Korean Space Agency (KASA) on May 30 in a written report. KARI deliberately joins the global alliance in order to better understand the origins and evolution of the universe.
Centered in the UK, SKAO is an international organization that is the old home of the SKA Project. This institution is responsible for the construction and operation of telescopes, processing and analysis of space data, to the coupling of international partnerships.
In this partnership, KARI will participate in the International Radio Giant Telescope (SKA) project. To inaugurate this collaboration, the Head of KARI as well as the Administrator of KASA Youngbin Yoon has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU).

The SKA project is different from the project in general because it uses radio telescopes that can receive invisible waves. This tool is capable of capturing signals from various celestial bodies, including areas covered in cosmic dust to black holes.
By joining the SKA Project, KARI and KASA will get the same qualifications as SKAO member countries. That way, Korea will get the opportunity to send domestic experts to the construction and operation of SKA.
"The signing of this memorandum of understanding (MoU) is a meaningful first step for Korea," Yoon said. Through participation in the SKA project, we will actively support domestic research and industry institutions to enter the global cooperation ecosystem and expand the scientific horizon of mankind."
