Goseong-gun Joins Campaign Urging Enactment of the 'Space Aviation Agency Special Act'

On the 16th, Goseong County in Gyeongnam participated in a campaign urging the enactment of the "Special Act on the Establishment and Operation of the Space Aviation Agency" with County Governor Lee Sang-geun and over 30 senior officials in front of the county office main building.

Goseong-gun participated in the campaign urging the enactment of the Special Act for the Space Aviation Agency.

This campaign was conducted as a relay by 18 cities and counties of the Gyeongsangnam-do Mayors and Governors Association to show unity in their wish for the prompt enactment of the Space Aviation Agency Special Act.

The Space Aviation Agency is a central administrative agency responsible for overseeing the development of space aviation-related technologies and industrial promotion policies to leap forward as a space power.

Currently, South Korea lacks a dedicated organization overseeing the aerospace sector, with various ministries dividing functions and carrying out tasks separately, revealing limitations in policy formulation, budget execution, research and development, international cooperation, and industrial promotion.

Gyeongnam has the largest concentration of aerospace industry nationwide, and there is a strong call to establish the Space Aviation Agency as soon as possible to narrow the gap with advanced countries.

Governor Lee said, “We cannot delay legislation to enhance South Korea’s space aviation competitiveness,” and added, “All cities and counties will closely cooperate and respond jointly for the passage of the Space Aviation Agency Special Act.”
