Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) (Director Youngbin Yoon) will attend the board meeting of the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) held in Zurich, Switzerland on the 18th and officially express its intention to participate in the 'Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KAR) Project' to build the largest radio telescope in human history.



The SKA telescope, currently under construction in Australia and South Africa, has better resolution, observation speed, and sensitivity than existing radio telescopes, allowing it to observe faint radio signals from the early universe. It is expected to be able to answer fundamental questions about the universe, such as the origin of the universe and the search for extraterrestrial life.



The Korea Aerospace Research Institute is aiming to obtain final regular membership qualifications in order to secure the rights of domestic industry participation and priority acquisition of SKA data. It plans to proceed with domestic and international procedures sequentially based on this official declaration of intention to participate.



Kang Kyung-in, head of the Space Science Exploration Division at the Korea Aerospace Administration, said, "Through this participation, the Korea Aerospace Administration will actively support domestic astronomical researchers to produce world-class research results and contribute to our country's leap forward as a space powerhouse." He added, "Through research utilizing SKA data, we hope to be able to contribute to solving key challenges in modern astronomy, such as the origin of the universe and the search for extraterrestrial life."

Livestock Manure Methane Is Soaring, But 'Resource Recovery' Isn't Working [Now is a Climate Crisis]

이미지
It has been pointed out that the methane emissions from the livestock waste treatment process were actually reported to be 2.5 times smaller than the previous calculation standards. It is expected that livestock waste will increase rapidly in the future, but an analysis report has been released that 'biogasification', which turns it into a resource, is only at the 10% level. It is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane, one of the greenhouse gases, is expected to increase rapidly. According to the analysis of the entire livestock waste treatment process for the first time in Korea, the largest source of methane emissions was pigs (73%), and only 14% of pig waste was used for biogas in the public sector. It has been pointed out that it is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane from livestock waste is increasing rapidly but 'resource conversion' is insufficient.

The Korean launch vehicle Nuriho will be launched for the fourth time in November. Nuriho plans to build technological sophistication through its sixth launch in the future. [Photo = Korea Aerospace Research Institute] Large and small launch vehicle companies have joined forces to develop future space transportation technology. Perigee Aerospace (Perigee) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hanwha Aerospace on the 26th to establish a cooperative system between the two companies for the development of space transportation technology. Through this agreement, the two companies plan to share technological and sales capabilities to strengthen space launch vehicle development capabilities and continue strategic cooperation. The Hanwha Aerospace delegation, which visited the Perigee Rocket Development Complex (RDC) in Okcheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, signed the business agreement and toured the development status of the space launch vehicle 'Blue Whale 1 (BW1)' cu...

When a star swallows a planet... [Now in space]

이미지
What happens when a star swallows a planet? The James Webb Space Telescope has released the results of observing a star 12,000 light-years away from Earth using its observation equipment. NASA reported the news on the 10th (local time). In conclusion, the star did not swell enough to swallow the planet as previously hypothesized. Instead, the planet's orbit gradually approached the star and was absorbed by the star. As the planet's orbit gradually got closer to the star, the planet was finally swallowed by the star. [Photo = NASA, ESA, CSA, R. Crawford (STScI)] The process of a star swallowing a planet revealed by NASA was that a planet the size of Jupiter first orbited very close to the star, closer than Mercury orbiting the Sun. Then, the planet's orbit gradually decreased over time. The planet gradually approached the star. As it approached the star, the planet began to brush against the star's atmosphere. As the planet fell in...
