Samsung Electronics Co. said on Friday that it signed an agreement with the domestic micro-satellite startup Nara Space Technology Inc. to develop infrastructure for evaluating the reliability of memory semiconductors in space environments.

The two companies plan to send a Samsung Electronics memory semiconductor evaluation tester to space on the South Korean rocket Nuri, scheduled for its fourth launch next year.

The goal is to conduct reliability tests on memory semiconductors in space by incorporating the testers into the domestic component verification satellite, which will be launched as a secondary payload on the Nuri space rocket.

Nara Space will develop the equipment to house Samsung's memory semiconductors and reliability evaluation testers.

The startup will also participate in the equipment's performance to ensure it operates reliably in space.
