KASA

South Korea's Ministry of National Defense and the Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) have agreed to use domestic launch vehicles to put military satellites into orbit. The move would tie national security space programs to the country's homegrown rocket development efforts rather than foreign launch providers, reducing dependence on overseas partners.

Oh Tae-seok, head of the Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA), is planning a major organizational overhaul eight months after taking office. The restructuring is expected to reshape how the young agency organizes its work on space policy and development. Details of which units or priorities will change have not yet been announced, and reaction is so far limited to initial reporting.
