Space Krenovation Park

Thailand has benefited enormously over the past decades from space-related technologies. In order to enhance and utilize such technology in full strength, Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (Public Organization) - GISTDA was established under the aegis of the Thai Ministry of Science and Technology. Thailand Earth Observation Satellite (THEOS) program was initiated in July 2004 with the aim of fulfilling Thai user’s requirement and since then, GISTDA has deployed a “two-pronged grand strategy” with both value creation and social benefits in mind. The experiences gained and the partnerships developed have far more than paid back in full, the cost of development and operating the satellite. Today, GISTDA wishes to extend its current goal of being a data provider to “Delivering values from Space”. In order to fulfill this vision, GISTDA is working closely with partners at the Space Krenovation Park to establish sustainable development in the space sector in Thailand.

GISTDA has established the Space Krenovation Park (SKP), a specialized science park, where creativity and innovation comes together in 2013. SKP aims to be a Thailand’s innovative solutions to problems by utilizing Thailand’s smartest people who will work together to provide ideas and solutions to important business, social, policy, scientific, and technical challenges especially in the area of Space technology and GIS. SKP shall built up a network of problem solvers, both internally and externally of GISTDA, proven challenge methodology, and cloud-based technology combine to help Thai industry transform their economics of innovation through rapid solution delivery and the development of sustainable open innovation programs. Its “strategic location” at the site of the current Ground Station in Sriracha close to the industrial area on the eastern seaboard of Thailand and elite universities in eastern Thailand will make it an invaluable asset.

The SKP can provide several advantages by providing an open innovation platform, high demandof goods,strong domestic manufacturing base, cost advantages, well-educated talent pool, abundant low cost skilled workforce, and ability to leverage IT competitiveness. This aims to increase the level of competitiveness in both domestic and international level. Collaborating with global players such as Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA),and Swedish Space Cooperation (SSC), GISTDA plans to develop specific concepts for future mission that will enable and support SKP’s work in advancing technologies.

Under the SKP and with a driving force of THEOS-1, the SKP’s facility capacity will be based on cluster approach - with industry, academia and other institutions. Joint venture with the leading R&D institution will also give pace to these facilities. Testing facilities such as mechanical shaker and thermal vacuum chamber will also be part of the SKP. In the order to bring about social and economic benefits at SKP, GISTDA shall materialize innovation and also integrate industry and academia segments together and make the most of both their attributes. The cooperation between GISTDA and Wuhan University depicts an outstanding example of collaborative opportunities under the SKP framework and the framework extends to include joint appointments and internships providing increased access to graduate students, post-doctoral and future employees. SKP will open new frontiers in space related applications.

SKP’s infrastructure primarily consists of four zones.

Learning Zone : Under this zone, we have the Sirindhorn Center for Geo-informatics and the Space Inspirium.

Space Business and Entrepreneurial Zone : Under this zone, we have the Visionarium and International business partner’s offices.

Operational Zone : Under this zone, we have the satellite operations center

Recreational Zone : Under this zone, we have the accommodation for staff and students as well as a sports center.
