The Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) is a South Korean government-funded space agency established in May 2024. KASA's aim is to become one of the top five leading space agencies, with goals that include developing the KSLV-III rocket and landing spacecraft on the Moon by 2032 and Mars by 2045. KASA collaborates with international partners like NASA and the Saudi Space Agency (SSA) on space exploration, science, and aeronautics. Key focuses include lunar exploration, deep space technology, satellite launches, and fostering the domestic space industry.
