In a rare show of unity, Japan and South Korea have jointly launched a lunar probe, part of a wider plan to establish a research base on the moon’s surface by 2032. The project is backed by both nations’ space agencies and involves AI-powered robotics and 3D printing for building modules.
Scientists say the mission will test soil composition, radiation levels, and sustainability for human habitats. NASA and the European Space Agency are acting as observers in this mission.
Interest in space technology is growing in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, where students and institutions are increasingly involved in space education and international collaborations.
