According to the defense business unit of Hanwha Group, the firm signed an in-situ resource utilization, or ISRU, agreement with six government-funded research bodies.

ISRU refers to using local materials in space and producing necessary items required for space exploration on site, such as water, oxygen, solar cells, construction materials and rocket fuel.

The deal will allow Hanwha to take initiative in Korea‘s ISRU on the moon, as the nation is one of 12 members of the Artemis project.
