We are developing four science payloads in collaboration with
domestic universities to operate on the lunar surface as a part of
NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) based on the
KASI-NASA Exploration Working Group. The Ministry of Science and ICT
(MSIT) of Korea supports the development, mission operation, and
data analyses of the payloads.
Attributed largely to the heritages of previous space
missions, experienced and passionate teams commenced developing the
payloads under the management of KASI. The scientific measurements
of the payloads will provide valuable data to understand the nature
of the Moon, our steadfast neighbor, when the payloads are landed
and operated successfully on its surface. Based on the strengthened
mutual trust, KASI and NASA will further collaborate in scientific
research and space exploration. All the science, technology, and
experiences built up from this project will shed light on Korea's
future lunar landing mission.
