The Korea Aerospace Administration has signed a memorandum of understanding with the international agency SKAO to join the Mega Radio Telescope project. This global initiative, with a budget of about 3 trillion won, involves constructing the largest radio telescope in history in Australia and South Africa. Radio telescopes capture unseen signals emitted by celestial objects, crucial for understanding cosmic origins and evolution. Korea aims to secure full membership, allowing participation in decision-making and sending Korean experts for construction and operation support. The move marks Korea's significant step into global scientific collaboration.
