ABSTRACT
A revival of space policy takes place in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the intervention of a new player, the European community and the publication of a first document, “A Coherent European Strategy for Space” on the initiative of the European Parliament in 1989. There is therefore a real convergence of interests in Europe to deepen European Union–Republic of Korea cooperation in the field of space technology, especially since South Korea appears to be sharing a number of principles such as a global vision, the search for an increased national and international security, and the progressive construction of civil space skills with an increasingly dual potential. Opportunities for cooperation with South Korea can thus be considered in various ways. Space activities of the Republic of Korea began in 1992, with the launching of a small scientific satellite for experiments, called “Uribyul-1,” developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
