Singapore will set up the National Space Agency of Singapore (NSAS) in April, Minister-in-charge of Energy and Science and Technology Tan See Leng announced on Monday (Feb 2).

Speaking at the inaugural Space Summit, Dr Tan said NSAS will provide leadership for Singapore to seize opportunities in the space economy, unlock space technology applications for national and regional needs and keep its assets safe in an increasingly congested space environment. He added that the government has set aside over S$200 million (US$157 million) since 2022 for space R&D projects through the Space Technology Development Programme, supporting research institutes and companies to develop and test their space technologies. https://cna.asia/3O1gERs
