KASI has wide variety of research areas like optical, radio, theoretical and observational astronomy researches and is expanding its area through astronomical researches in space. Doing both pure scientific researches on the Universe and developments of space-related techniques, we are leading the space science era of 21st century.

Utilizing the brilliant astronomical history of Korea which has lasted for a few thousand years, modern astronomical facilities and instruments, and new scientific products, KASI will activate Korean astronomical research activities and jump to become one of the top-class astronomy research institutes in the world. We hope to have good relationship and cooperation with other institutes and nations.
