Thailand and China Sign MoUs for Moon Research and Space Exploration

Thailand's Cabinet has approved two memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with China to advance Thailand's space exploration capabilities.
The first MoU focuses on collaborating on moon research stations, while the second MoU covers exploring and utilizing outer space for peaceful purposes.

These agreements aim to help Thailand extend its research beyond Earth's atmosphere and develop astronauts.

Thailand and China have agreed to collaborate on building an international moon research station and exploring outer space for peaceful purposes.

This cooperation will benefit Thailand by transferring knowledge, expanding space exploration, and applying space technology for societal and economic development.

Long-term Thai-Chinese space cooperation is expected to contribute to human resource development and the aerospace industry in Thailand.

The global space industry is predicted to be worth US$3 trillion in the next 20 years, and space technology plays a crucial role in communication, despite appearing distant.

The deputy spokeswoman of Thailand's Ministry of Science and Technology, Rudklao, emphasized the importance of collaboration and expertise from different sectors to leverage existing knowledge, capabilities, and infrastructure for successful outcomes in space technology and the space economy in Thailand.

This collaboration would lead to human resource development, infrastructure advancement, and the creation of a sustainable ecosystem for space technology and research, ultimately resulting in skilled Thai workforce and satellite technology advancements.
