Space Astronomy Space Science Research Group Go to website ¡¤ Space era, initiated along with space ships, gave birth to space astronomy. Space astronomy changes the conventional concept of astronomy from the ground to the space. Space observations indeed promise us an unprecedented understanding of the Universe, through the entire electromagnetic wavelength, without worries of the atmospheric extinction. KASI space science research group was officially organized in 1997, to promote space astronomical research activities and to develop a payload system for the current Korean space program. Our earlier experience of X-ray detector system development for Korea sounding rocket program and CCD imaging systems enabled KASI staffs to participate Far-Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph(FIMS) project, a primary payload for KAISTSAT-4, in collaboration with SaTReC, KAIST. A series of Korean astronomical payloads for satellite launching are planned in the next decades. Possibilities of cooperative research opportunities with foreign partners are also anticipated for development of astronomical payloads.
