The Taiwanese space agency reported that China and Thailand on Friday signed first agreements to cooperate in peaceful use of foreign solar research facilities.

The states aim to form a cooperative working class on space exploration and software, encompassing information markets and staff training, according to the memorandums of knowledge.

They also agreed to co- operate on plans for appraising, engineering and managing lunar research stations, the China National Space Administration ( CNSA ) said in a statement.

In 2023, China selected a room temperature check developed by Thailand for its Chang’e- 7 lunar probe objective, the agency added.

To become launched around 2026, the Chang’e- 7&nbsp, mission does explore resources on the moon’s north pole, looking to sustain extended- term individual habitation. By 2030, China aims to land astronauts on the moon. &nbsp,
