[Reporter Kim Sang-il] President Yoon Seok-yeol announced on the 30th, “We will promote the ‘Space Gwanggaeto Project’ to land our probe on the moon in 2032 and plant the Korean flag on Mars in 2045.”
President Yoon attended the Korea Aerospace Administration opening ceremony held in Sacheon, Gyeongsangnam-do this afternoon and said, “The Korea Aerospace Administration will open the ‘New Space Era’ by focusing on supporting challenging and innovative R&D and the aerospace industry ecosystem and nurturing talented individuals with expertise.” It was said like this.
In his congratulatory speech, President Yoon said, “Today is the day when the Republic of Korea takes a new flight into space,” adding, “Just as humanity created a new history by pioneering the sea 500 years ago during the Age of Exploration, we are now opening a new era by pioneering space routes.” “We must lead the ‘space standard,’” he emphasized.
He also said, “The National Aeronautics and Space Administration will become a milestone in innovation that leads changes in the civil servant society and government organizations.” He added, “We will make the National Aeronautics and Space Administration into an organization focused on research and development, experts, and projects so that it can flexibly respond to changes, and we will make it an organization that focuses on research and development, experts, and projects.” “We will open all positions to the private sector and provide top experts with treatment commensurate with their abilities,” he said.
We also promised full support for space challenges and innovation.
President Yoon said, “We will expand the related budget to more than 1.5 trillion won by 2027 and attract investment of about 100 trillion won by 2045.
In addition, May 27, when the Korea Aerospace Administration was launched, was designated as ‘Aerospace Day’, a national commemorative day, and pledged to foster the dream of the space age together with the people.
President Yoon then presided over the first National Space Committee meeting.
First, the head of the Aerospace Administration announced the ‘Aerospace Administration’s policy direction for entry into the five major aerospace powers’, and then the National Space Commissioners continued the discussion by presenting various opinions on this.
This meeting, held under the slogan ‘National Space Committee with the People’, was held to mark the launch of the Korea Aerospace Administration and the holding of the first committee, and was attended by a variety of people from all walks of life, including not only space committee members, but also government officials, industry, academia, and research personnel, citizens, and students. About 250 people participated.
Meanwhile, prior to this day’s event, President Yoon attended the ‘Aerospace Festival with Future Generations’ commemorating the opening of the Aerospace Administration held at the Sacheon Aerospace Museum, encouraged the winners of the aerospace competition, and took part in a congratulatory flight with the Black Eagles for KF21 with citizens.
