South Korea’s space agency plans to expand cooperation with France’s National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) to help domestic space companies enter the European market and global supply chains. The agency said it will visit Paris from Sept. 8 to 10 to sign an implementation arrangement on space industry promotion and attend the International Space Summit as South Korea’s chief representative. The deal follows an agreement signed last October.

South Korea\'s Korea AeroSpace Administration will conduct a comprehensive final inspection drill for launch safety control at the Naro Space Center in Goheung, South Jeolla Province. The drill, involving 12 agencies including government, military, police and local authorities, will test personnel and vehicle control around the center, sea and air traffic restrictions along the launch path, resident evacuations and emergency response systems. Scenarios include drones, unauthorized entries, abnormal launches and incidents such as fire, oil spills and terrorism.
