Popular Post webfact Posted April 6 Popular Post Share Posted April 6 Thailand and China have taken a significant leap towards space exploration, establishing initial agreements for collaboration on the peaceful use of outer space and international lunar research stations. These pacts were announced by the China National Space Administration (CNSA). The intent behind these Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) is the formation of a joint working group, focused on space exploration and applications. This encompasses not just data exchanges but also training for personnel involved in the projects. In addition to this, both nations consented to collaborate on the evaluation, engineering and administration of lunar research stations, according to the CNSA. This collaboration signifies a significant step forward in the field of lunar research and exploration. The CNSA further revealed that a space weather monitor, developed by Thailand, had been selected by China for its Chang’e-7 lunar probe mission last year. This mission underscores the increasingly cooperative relationship between the two countries in the realm of space exploration. The Chang’e-7 mission, scheduled for launch around 2026, is set to explore resources on the moon’s south pole. The aim is to pave the way for long-term human habitation on the lunar surface. This ambitious venture is part of China’s broader objective to land astronauts on the moon by the year 2030, reported Bangkok Post. This joint venture between China and Thailand signifies an important step in international cooperation for space exploration. It is a testament to the potential benefits and advancements that can be achieved through collaboration in this rapidly evolving field. In related news, Thailand’s entitlement to utilise the satellite orbit at 50.5° East may be revoked following its expiration in 2025 due to its prolonged vacancy. There’s speculation in the industry that the upcoming auctions for the unclaimed orbit slots at 50.5° and 142° E by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) might not be successful. This is due to the expectation that the number of potential bidders will not meet the minimum requirement outlined in the awarding conditions for these slots. by Mitch Connor Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post Source: The Thaiger 2024-04-06 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 1 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBer Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 My guess is Thailands role will be providing quality cannabis. Space research and exploration will be much more deep then. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WDSmart Posted April 6 Popular Post Share Posted April 6 All space exploration projects by all countries should stop. We have done nothing so far but pollute our planet, litter our outer atmosphere with debris, and scatter abandoned equipment on other worlds. Just as we are destroying the biosphere of our own planet, we seem to want to go to other worlds to do the same. We are like a cancer on the Earth. Establishing colonies of humans in other worlds shouldn't be called "colonizing" but "metastasizing." 🥺 3 2 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wensiensheng Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 lol. In other words China is doing its thing and Thailand is clinging to its coat tails. FFS, Thailand can’t even make use of its satellite allocation, let alone boldly go where plenty have boldly gone before 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cabradelmar Posted April 6 Popular Post Share Posted April 6 MOU 😂 sounds like another one of the PMs half baked sales job being overhyped again. MOUs aren't worth the paper they are written on... Just a quasi mutual admiration society putting on paper none binding discussions. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet this is the reason behind China wanting to pal up with Thailand. Don't be surprised if China gets to use this slot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Seems a reasonable joint venture...the Chinese have a craft in orbit round the moon in preparation for building a base. It's great that Thailand is in there with a winner. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
