Samsung has a history in the space industry primarily through its former subsidiary, Samsung Aerospace Industries, which was involved in manufacturing aircraft and aircraft engines; this division was later merged into Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) in 1999. More recently, Samsung has been exploring satellite communication technology for its mobile devices and has also partnered with companies like SpaceX to test its Galaxy Watch's capabilities in monitoring astronaut health during space missions. Samsung's Galaxy smartphones were sent to space to capture high-resolution images, showcasing the phone's camera technology. Key activities include satellite communication R&D, aerospace component manufacturing (historically), and technology validation in space environments.
