KAIST's previous space research accomplishments have primarily focused on small satellites, the first of which was "KITSAT-1".
Building on this foundation, the KAIST Space Institute will take small satellite research to the next level, Moreover, we will establish a convergence research system that integrates core technologies, including space cybersecurity, space health (biology), next-generation space communication, materials and components designed for extreme space environments, mission design and policy, and deep space navigation.
Additionally, the KAIST Space Institute will play a pivotal role in fostering industry-academia-research cooperation within Korea's space sector. As a university organization, we have unique advantages that enable us to establish a robust international cooperation network. In this role, our goal is to elevate Korea's space R&D competitiveness and drive the growth of the domestic space industry.
The Space Institute will maintain an open-door policy: we welcome participation from all KAISTians with an interest in space, and we are open to contributions from experts in the field across Korea. Keep us on your radar as we embark on our journey to the stars.
