A House panel on technology is pushing for the setting up of a laboratory to promote space science, so the kingdom can one day reap its economic benefits.
The Parliament's Committee on Communications, Telecommunications, and Digital Economy and Society has instructed a sub-panel to work with the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (Gistda) and education institutes to set up the laboratory.
Settapong Malisuwan, vice chair of the panel, said he has approached Wiang Pa Pao Technical College, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang and Rajamangala University of Technology Isan for technical assistance in the project.
