Mexico and South Korea partnering on plan to build space launch pads

Mexico and South Korea are collaborating through the Mexican Space Agency (AEM) and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) to develop space launch pads in Mexico. A 2024 agreement aims to formalize infrastructure development, with preliminary studies and a feasibility analysis included in Mexico's 2026-2030 Space Plan. However, the absence of technological transfer from South Korea is noted as a significant challenge.
