Sancheong-gun Urges Passage of Special Act for Space Aviation Agency

County Governor Lee Seunghwa and Others Join Relay Campaign

On the 20th, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, participated in the Gyeongnam Mayors and County Governors Council relay campaign urging the passage of the "Special Act on the Establishment and Operation of the Space Aviation Agency."

On this day, County Governor Lee Seunghwa and senior officials participated to urge the passage of the special act.

This campaign, involving all 18 cities and counties in Gyeongnam Province, started in Miryang City on the 10th and will continue until the 23rd.

Sancheong County is urging the passage of the Special Act for the Space and Aviation Agency.

Governor Lee said, "The establishment of the Space Aviation Agency will not only contribute to the development of Gyeongnam but also serve as an opportunity to inject new vitality into the regional economy," adding, "I hope the special act will be passed as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, the special act for the Space Aviation Agency was referred to the Ministry of Science and ICT in April and even formed an agenda coordination committee, but it has not been passed due to opposition from some political circles, preventing consensus.

The establishment of the Space Aviation Agency is one of the major national tasks of the current government.

According to the basic direction for the establishment and operation of the Space Aviation Agency announced by the Science, Technology, Information and Broadcasting Committee in July, it is modeled after NASA in the United States.

The establishment direction aims to build a specialized and flexible organization and a network-type operating system as a dedicated space aviation organization.
