South Korea's Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) and the Canadian Space Agency signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday at Space Symposium 2026 in Colorado Springs, formalising bilateral cooperation in satellite technology and related fields. The agreement covers Earth observation, space science, exploration, and low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications — an area of particular interest as Canada develops a national LEO communications network and views South Korea as a key partner given its established industry ecosystem. KASA head Oh Tae-seog said the deal is expected to help South Korean companies secure a stronger position in the global space supply chain.
