The Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) was led by the Office of Climate Change, Environment and Scientific Affairs Minyoung Han and Korea Aerospace Management (KASA), Director of Al -Mudhah Mission Directorate, John Lee, resisted ROK’s authorization.

Noting that the United States Alliance Rock stands as the owner of peace, security and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and across the Indian Pacific Ocean, the two sides have committed to strengthening the United States coalition through space cooperation, including joint research in space exploring and Earth control, and enhancing organizational cooperation.

U.S. and ROK space officials discussed enhancing cooperation in space exploration in ARTEMIS and other missions and noticed NASA and Cassa October 2024 the completion of a study agreement on ARTEMIS cooperation in the future. The two sides shared the progress made in implementing the study agreement and noticed continuous discussions on the use of Korean space antennas (KDSA) to support Artemis and other tasks. The two sides are planning to continue to discuss how to enhance ROK investment in the capabilities that support the common goals in Moon and Mars Exploration.

The two sides also discussed ROK activities to develop and mature the capabilities of Korean human space tires and will explore possible opportunities for human space light to reduce Earth’s orbit. The two sides discussed the latest cooperation in space science, such as implementing the NASA Casa study agreement in September 2024 on cooperation for the Lagrange Point mission in Earth-SUN 4 led by Kasa and defining opportunities to expand partnerships to the upcoming NASA astronomical missions.

In monitoring the Earth, the two sides discussed the continuous cooperation in the physical satellites in the next generation of the next generation, and the potential ROK participation in the International Partnership Initiative in Landsat 2030. The two sides affirmed their desire to expand cooperation in the exchange of satellite data, including from the advanced satellite 4 (CAS500-4) scheduled to be launched in 2026, to enhance the ability to use satellite data, and increase operating capacity Albin for the satellite sectors in both countries, enhance the ability of agricultural monitoring and the ability to respond in the actual time not to speak and defects. The two sides also highlighted the air successful investigation and satellites in the Asian Air Air quality mission (ASIA-AQ) since 2024 and the joint rapid science synthesis report soon.

The sides welcomed the successful operation of the SPAREX SPAREX spacecraft, as the Korea Institute of Astronomy and Space Science (KASI) participated as an instrument of instrument and science. The two sides intend to increase the enhancement of our partnership in astronomy and space weather, including the ROK cooperation in the mission of mapping and accelerating NASA and Noa Weatler-Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1).

NASA and Cassi noticed great progress towards launching a moon’s scientific load in Kasi at the CLPS mission in NASA in 2026. The two sides discussed the possibility of exchanging radiation test data and enhancing flexible supply chains by mutual identification or test certificates.

On the organizational alignment, Rok presented its regulatory framework to the launch and operation of space elements, and the United States also presented the organizational framework for launching and re -entering. The two sides noticed the last meeting of the US Rock Work Group on export controls, as shown in the third civil dialogue.

The two sides are planning to continue the meeting to exchange standards and best practices to take advantage of the circumstantial awareness capabilities of the area to improve the safety and sustainability of space. The two sides realized the importance of improving international coordination on this issue, including discussing the principles of data sharing and information and participating with space actors in the private sector.

To enhance awareness of the naval field of the United States (MDA), the two sides discussed how to cooperate in providing satellite data to secure safe maritime transport methods and address various marine security threats. The two sides discussed how to strengthen cooperation on information and infrastructure between the American National Maritime Integration Office and the Korea Coast.

The two countries intend to enhance our close cooperation on the progress of the peaceful exploration of the area and its use in the United Nations Committee for the peaceful uses of the outer space (United Nations Copuos), in the ARTEMIS Accords Signature Group, at Global Fora like the GEO group (GEO) in Aprsaf Companities (CEOSS) in Forem Paceal Fore. Us-Rok-Japan Civils and Commercial Cooperation.

The American delegation included representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NASA, the National Oceanic and Air Force Administration (NOAA), the American Geological Survey (USGS), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Office of the Ministry of Commercial Trade (OSC), the National Naval Intelligence Office (NMIO), and Federal Communications (OSC).
