Samsung is best known for its smartphones and various home appliances. But the tech giant is now eyeing the final frontier, space. The company is reportedly working on developing various space tech, which could include infrastructure for the space industry. So here’s everything we know so far.
Samsung Sets Its Sights on Space: From Smartphones to Space Tech
The South Korean tech giant is apparently expanding its horizons and is reaching for the stars. According to The Korea Economy Daily report (Via AndroidHeadlines), the company is planning on entering the space infrastructure market by developing a space plant project. This site would allow Samsung to develop and make various space infrastructure, like launch pads and various spacecraft related components.
The report adds that Samsung is working with the Department of Aerospace and Engineering at Seoul University to build a research and development center. Samsung’s entry into the space industry could help boost South Korea’s economy, as per the country’s space experts. The company is a major brand in the consumer electronics space, but it isn’t a one-trick pony. Its Heavy Industries division has built ships for polar traversal and even has contracts with the military.
So making space infrastructure isn’t too surprising. Apart from launch pads and spacecraft components, Samsung is rumored to be testing its self developed semiconductors in the high radiation environment in high Earth orbit. The brand has reportedly already signed an agreement with the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute to kick off this project. Keep in mind that this is still just speculation at the moment, so take this news with a pinch of salt and stick around for more.
