In a significant initiative to advance South Korea’s aerospace industry, FDH Aero has signed a cooperation agreement with Sacheon City to promote the country’s emerging space sector.
The country established the Sacheon-based Korea Aerospace Administration (KASA) in May this year to support its ambitious plans to send robotic landers to the moon and Mars within the next two decades. It also aims to pursue emerging space technologies, such as asteroid mining and satellite data utilization.
FDH, a California-based provider of supply chain solutions for aerospace and defense customers, will deliver consulting services for Korea's nascent space industry and lead the development of joint space projects both in the region and globally. The agreement takes effect immediately and will last at least two years.
