Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) will give its full support to help the new space agency, which will be launched in May, get into place quickly, its president said Thursday.
The year 2023 was a year of significant events for Korea s space industry. The Danuri, Korea s first lunar orbiter, which entered the moon s orbit in December 2022, officially began scientific observations from lunar orbit in January. In May, the country successfully launched a Nuri space launch vehicle for the third time, placing eight satellites in orbit, and solidified its position as an emerging space power.
South Korea’s Nuri rocket set for 3rd launch Asia News Network (ANN) is the leading regional alliance of news titles striving to bring the region closer, through an active sharing of editorial content on happenings in the region.
The Korea Aerospace Research Institute s (KARI) recent organizational reform plan has prompted its senior researchers to offer to resign. These are the very same researchers who played major roles in the development of the Korea Space Launch Vehicle II (KSLV-II), or the Nuri, the nation s first homegrown space rocket launched successfully in June.
