□ New Space, which refers to the change of space development leadership from the government to the private sector, the acceleration of the business model innovation, and technology innovation through convergence, has recently become the trend in the leading countries in the space field.
ㅇ The purpose of this event is to share the world trend in New Space and discuss the direction for the business, government, and research institutes in Korea.
ㅇ Moreover, it will feature the Space Science and Culture program to help young people to have more interest in space.
□ On the first day (July 16) of the Space Week, students from 17 elementary schools nationwide will participate in the special lecture on the moon and the contest of making a rocket model hosted by the Young Astronauts Korea and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute will hold the Space Talk Concert with focus on the moon.
