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.
