South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol attended a ceremony to launch the Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) on Thursday (May 30).
The act establishing KASA was submitted to the National Assembly in April last year and was passed during the plenary session this January. Today's inaugural ceremony was held to widely proclaim its launch, emphasizing Korea's commitment to realizing its vision of becoming one of the world's top five space powerhouses and opening the new space era.
The President pledged to foster the dream of the space age together with the people as he designated May 27 – the day KASA was launched – as "Aerospace Day," a national commemorative day.
