The aerospace industry is a high value-
added industry, the culmination of the
latest, cutting-edge technology and at
the same time, an important industry
which forms the foundation of national defense
and national security.
In less than a generation, the Republic of Korea
overcame its dire situation akin to wasteland
and created supersonic advanced trainers,
state-of-the-art helicopters, and satellites, and
continuously developed its aerospace industry.
The Republic of Korea has recently made
significant achievements even amidst global
financial expectations and uncertainties. In the
field of aircraft, the Korean helicopter Surion
development was officially completed, making
South Korea into the worlds 11th country to
indigenously develop helicopters, and the
Korean supersonic aircraft T-50i was exported
to Indonesia in a ferry flight, making Korea the
worlds sixth country to export a supersonic
aircraft. Also, Korea made great achievement
in export by signing a 1.1 billion dollar deal to
deliver FA-50 aircraft to Iraq, the largest amount
in the history of national defense export. In the
field of space, Korea successfully launched the
Naro rocket, KOMPSAT-5 and STSAT-3.
Chairmans Message
Koreas domestic aerospace industry is expected
to continue to grow this year. Based on the
Basic Plan for the Development of Aircraft
Industry, the blueprint which aims to place
Korea among the top 7 global position by 2020,
existing projects will follow the growth pattern
and new projects will be launched smoothly. In
particular, this year, the KFX project and Light
Armed Helicopter, civil helicopter project and
other major programs are scheduled to begin.
In addition, other important national aerospace
industry developments such as the Surion-based
helicopter variant, commercial aircraft project,
KSLV-II etc are planned. If these projects are
successful, Koreas goal of producing 20 billion
dollars and exporting 10 billion dollars to enter
the Global 7 tier in aerospace industry by 2020
will soon be reached.
New growth and change are needed for the
aerospace industry to become the new engine
of growth that ensures the future of Koreas
economy and to become a core momentum that
results in creative economy.
For this end, the Korea Aerospace Industries
Association(KAIA) will continue to support the
government to establish aerospace industry
policies and conduct studies and researches, and
it will continue to voice the opinion of the Korean
aerospace industry, hold international Aerospace

In export by country, exports to the US(Boeing) took up 46%, while exports to France, UK, and Germany
(Airbus) took up 25%. Thus, 71% of exports were to the US and Europe. This is a natural result stemming from
the fact that commercial area takes up the majority of Koreas export, and that Boeing and Airbus dominate
the global aircraft market. The trend is pointing towards an expansion to global vendors such as VOUGHT,
BELL, SPIRIT, KHI. Peru and Canada are rising in the list of countries for export. (Table 2, Figure 2)

In domestic production by demand, dependence on military demand fell from over 70% in the past to 60%
due to the growth of commercial sector, but the ratio is still far from that of the global market(military 20 :
commercial 80). In order to increase production for the commercial sector, the domestic demand, which is
very low compared to exports, must be increased. (Table 3, Figure 3)
Performance in the space sector was low, the ratio between production in aviation and space being 9:1. At
the end of last year, the government announced the Mid-to-Long Term Space Development Plan which was
meaningful in that it detailed the development of space industry. The first goal is to export over 100 billion
won worth of satellites by 2017. Along with this first goal, is to build KSLV(Korea Space Launch Vehicle)-II by
2020. If these two goals are reached, they will provide sufficient basis for the Korean space industry to secure
commercial value.
The amount in orders in 2013 was 8.4 billion dollars, an increase by 137% from the previous year, while
backlogs reached 10 billion dollars for three consecutive years. The key contributing factors were not only the
increase in orders for civilian aircraft parts but also the increase in production and sales of the T-50 and KUH
in the military sector, which lead to the overall increase. (Table 4)
Such a positive trend is expected to continue this year, and the amount in orders are expected to reach a
whooping 9.5 billion dollars due to the large production volumes and additional export in the military sector
and additional large-volume orders in the commercial sector.

Trade deficit, which had continued to fall after being maintained for a long period at around 2 billion dollars
since the 1990s, increased to record 3.3 billion dollars in 2011, then decreased again since 2012 to 1.6 billion
dollars. This is a result of the decrease in purchase of transportation aircraft and the continued increase in
export of parts to Boeing and Airbus and the export of finished aircraft such as the T-50 trainer that reduced
the trade deficit compared to the previous year. In particular, the two major airlines and low cost carriers
have decreased their purchase of aircraft compared to the previous year, and this level is expected to remain
similar this year or decrease slightly. On the other hand, domestic aircraft industry is expected to pick up
speed due to the export of T-50 trainer and internationally co-developed parts, so although the trade deficit
might fluctuate with the economic situation, it is not expected to increase. (Table 5)
The number of people working in the aerospace industry in 2013 was 11,111 a small increase from the
previous year. The 10,000 people level is being maintained since 2010. Increase in deliveries overseas and
increase in export of finished products are expected to push the number to 11,544 by 2014. (Table 6)

Aircraft Programs
The emergence of the Korea aircraft industry is
highlighted by the start of overhaul maintenance
of the L-19 reconnaissance aircraft in 1955 and
maintenance of the C-130 transport/military aircraft
until the early 1970s.
However, since the mid 1970s, Korea began production of
compact helicopters under license from Hughes Aircraft.
In 1978, the government enacted the Aircraft Industry
Promotion Act to promote and support the development of
the aircraft industry, and established the institutional basis
such as systems for providing subsidies to attract investment
from foreign aircraft companies. In the 1980s, Korea sought
joint production of Northrops F-5 E/F fighter aircraft and
since the mid 1980s produced parts for commercial aircraft
manufacturers such as Boeing. Since 1990, Korean Air
produced 000 UH-60P(Blackhawk) helicopters under license
from Sikorsky Aircraft and supplied them to the Korea military
forces. Since 1995, Samsung Aerospace(merged with KAI)
produced 000 KF-16 fighters under license from Lockheed
Martin and delivered them to the ROKAF.
Aircraft production in Korea continued to grow until 1988 and
then production fell due to the end of Korean Airs 500MD
helicopter program in 1989 and delays in the KFP(Korea
Fighter Program) and H-X programs as well as temporary gaps
in domestic demand. The aircraft industry sought to offset
the increase in domestic demand through exports and thus
actively engaged in export activities and sales of aircraft to
the commercial sector. As a result, exports increased by an
annual average of 33.4% from the period of 1988 to 1992.
During this period, order value, a leading indicator of exports,
also recorded an average annual increase of 26.5%. Later,
Korea began development of indigenous aircraft with the
ADDs development of the KT-1 trainer and acquired jet plane
technology through KAIs development of the T-50 advanced
trainer.
Recently, Koreas aircraft industry has made significant
achievements despite the global financial situation combined
with hopes for recovery and uncertainty. The Korean helicopter
Surion development was officially completed, making Korea
into the 11th country to develop a helicopter, and the Korean
supersonic aircraft T-50i was exported to Indonesia through
ferry flight, making Korea the worlds sixth country to export
a supersonic aircraft. At the end of 2013, Korea signed the
largest export deal in history with Iraq, exporting 1.1 billion
dollars worth of FA-50s. In addition, Korea exported light
combat aircraft FA-50 to the Philippines.
Koreas domestic aerospace industry is expected to continue to
grow this year. Based on the Basic Plan for the Development
of Aircraft Industry, the blueprint which aims to place Korea
among the top 7 global position by 2020, existing projects will
follow the growth pattern and new projects will be launched
smoothly. In particular, this year, the KFX project and Light
Armed Helicopter, civil helicopter project and other major
programs are scheduled to begin. In addition, other important
national aerospace industry developments such as the Surion-
based helicopter variant, commercial aircraft project, UAV etc
are planned. If these projects are successful, Koreas goal of
Producing 20 billion dollars and Exporting 10 billion dollars to
enter the Global 7 tier in aerospace industry by 2020 will soon
be reached.

Changgong-91 Aircraft Program
Canard Aircraft(The Firefly) Program
Korean air set out to manufacture lightweight aircraft
and acquire system integration technology since the
1980s. Korean Air developed Changgong-91, a five-
seat lightweight aircraft in 1992 and became the first
Korean company to develop an aircraft in its entirety.
Through the achievement, Korean air has acquired
design, analysis, certification, flight test and other
abilities. Through the project, Korean air acquired
type certification from the Ministry of Construction &
Transportation.
The canard configuration is known for its superb stall characteristics and maneuverability, so it is applied to many
high performance aircraft. The development of the Firefly is expected to introduce a new design concept and extend
the designs capability. The Firefly being developed is a pusher-type four-seat aircraft, whose structure is mainly
comprised of composite materials. This aircraft will be cost-effective to manufacture, and easy and safe to fly for
training, leisure and sport. The first prototype demonstrator made its maiden flight in 2001 and has successfully
flown 43,000km. The Firefly has been exhibited at many airshows including the Oshkosh Air Convention. As a result
of upgrades to the Firefly development program, the Firefly became Koreas first exported civilian aircraft in 2006.

and seats four passengers. Its maximum speed is 363 km/hr, and it can travel up to 2,020km. This distance covers a
single flight from Seoul to any region in Japan, or some major cities in China, or parts of Southeast Asia.
Built with new material Carbon Complex, the aircraft is light, and it has been mounted with state-of-the-art engine
power control mechanism which improves fuel-efficiency. Also, its LCD integrated glass cockpit provides excellent
efficiency in piloting, and the ergonomic interior provides a comfortable ride for both pilot and passenger.
The KC-100 is expected to be used for various purposes
including transportation, pilot training, forest fire
surveillance, and seacoast patrol.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
plans to sign the Korea-U.S. BASA for Part 23 class at
the end of this year. Once an agreement is made, it will
be possible to export small-size Korean civil aircraft to
most countries including the U.S. with just the Korean
governments certification.
This program was performed from 1980 to 1986 under
license from Northrop, and has its meaning as the first
indigenous production of fighter jets in Korea. Korean
air successfully delivered F-5E/F fighters to the ROKAF
and contributed to independent national defense.
Korean air also succeeded in localizing 15% of spare
and other parts.

KFP-I, KFP-II Program(KF-16)
The Korea Fighter Program(KFP) conducted with
the aim of domestic aviation industry growth is a
representative war potential strengthening program
to acquire main stream air force fighter planes by
implementing domestic licensed production through
technology adoption instead of importing completed
aircraft.
The 1st KFP program progressed by instituting 00 sets
of KF-16 fighter planes through FMS(Foreign Military
Sales) as the first stage for gradually constructing the
program management and production system and
assembled 00 fighter planes as stage 2 and localized
components for 00 aircraft in stage 3.
In addition to the 1st KFP program, the 2nd
program for additional production was also
successfully completed. The 2nd program led
to the establishment of the infrastructure for
domestic aircraft production and affiliated
infrastructures and provided the basic
framework of the domestic aviation industry.
Through the KFP program, over 4,000 advanced
aviation technology personnel were trained,
and compared to direct purchasing, 730
million dollars were saved and over 1.5 billion
dollars created in gross domestic product in
addition to other tangible achievements.
As the main contract party for the KFP, KAI, based on
its superior technical expertise and complete program
management capability completed delivery of the
final aircraft for the 1st program to the ROKAF in Apr.
2000 and the 2nd program in Aug. 2004, and through
acquisition of high-tech aviation technology and
specialists for the T-50 supersonic advanced trainer
development/production project, formed the basis for
further advancing the domestic aviation industry.

KT-1 Basic Trainer Program
KAI builds total training systems for basic and
advanced jet trainers. The KT-1, the basic training
aircraft, was the result of a joint development project
between KAI and the Koreas Agency for Defense
Development(ADD). The partnership has served
the needs of the Korea Air Force and international
customers, and has been a cornerstone and motivation
to make KAI a leader in military training aircraft and
solution provider among aerospace companies. It has
created an all-new training concept to bring smooth
transition from primary and intermediate to advance
training for todays front-line fighters.
The KT-1 is a high performance turbo-prop aircraft
enhanced with features that distinguish it from other
conventional basic training aircraft. The KT-1 delivers
the most effective training solution for multi-mission
requirement through the Ground Based Training
System(GBTS) which provides a comprehensive
training program to provide military student pilots
with primary to intermediate and advance pilot
training capability, all in one package. By employing
the KT-1 straight-through training system, the cost of
training a student pilot can be significantly reduced
and substantial savings can be realized from the
shortening of training time as well as the reduction of
training failure rates of student pilots.
The KT-1 is a multi-role aircraft designed to gain and
maintain superiority in basic training and light attack
mission, employing the latest technology to meet
the diverse requirements. The KT-1s superiority is
achieved through a mixture of excellent aerodynamic
characteristics, state-of-the-art avionics suite and sub-
system along with weapon delivery capability.
Since 2000, around 100 KT-1 related aircraft were
delivered to the Republic of Korea Air Force to be used
for basic training and light attacks. They have also
been exported to Indonesia, Turkey, and Peru.
The KA-1 forward air control aircraft was jointly
developed by ADD and KAI by adding an improved
radar and hard points for armaments. An agreement
to mass manufacture the KA-1 was made with Koreas
Defense Acquisition Program Administration, with the
first aircraft being deployed to the Korean Air Force in
2005. The KA-1 currently performs forward air control,
surveillance and reconnaissance, and light combat
roles.

T-50 Supersonic Advanced Trainer Program
The T-50 is a next-generation fight pilot trainer that
incorporates state-of-the-art advanced technologies
and avionics. The program was launched in 1997 and
the T-50 made its maiden flight in August 2002 and
a successful supersonic flight in February 2003.
Full Scale Development(FSD) of the T-50 was
f inished after 1,400 flight tests and the 1st
production aircraft was delivered to the ROKAF in
December 2005 after a production contract was
signed in 2003.
The T-50 is considered as the most advanced
supersonic trainer: With its f ighter-like system
and performance and the latest GBTS, T-50 is an
optimum platform for next generation fighter pilot
training. With the export of the T-50 to Indonesia,
Korea has become the sixth country in the world to
export supersonic aircraft.
The TA-50 is the Lead-in Fighter Trainer(LIFT) version
of the T-50 with a multi-mode radar, swing role
capability of intercept and Close Air Support(CAS)
and key A/A and A/G weapons. The aircraft also can
meet tactical mission requirement as a Light Combat
Aircraft(LCA).
The FA-50 is the LCA version of the TA-50 which
made its maiden flight in 2011. The FA-50 has a
radar that has been increased in range from the TA-
50s over 100km, and has the capability to deliver
precision guided bombs, engage in defensive
maneuvers, and perform night time missions.
Recently, 420 million dollars worth of FA-50s were
exported to the Philippines. This was the third T-50
related aircraft export following the 2011 export to
Indonesia(16 aircraft) and 2013 export to Iraq(24
aircraft).

has significance as the first aircraft production project
in Korea. Through the project, Korean air acquired the
manufacturing technologies for helicopters including
the main rotor blade and localized 42% of the parts.
Also, Korean air produced 80 items of stock parts to
support military supplies, and exported 502 body
assemblies to the USA.
Korean Air and Huges also jointly performed a project
to upgrade 500MD helicopters over 6 months from
Jul 1987 to Dec 1989. This program greatly enhanced
the 500MDs performance by increasing engine
power, upgrading the main rotor, mounting the latest
navigator, communicator, radar warning system and
adopting all-weather armament system. Korean air
acquired the technologies for systems integration and
functional test abilities through this program.
The UH-60 manufacturing program was carried
out for 10 years and 7 months from Sep. 1990
to Dec. 1999 to achieve independent national
defense according to the governments plan to
reinforce combat strength. Through this program,
airframe and engine parts were manufactured and
various components were successfully localized by
means of organizing subcontractors. The program
also contributed greatly to the foundation of the
domestic aviation industry and acquisition of aircraft
developing technologies.
Korean air secured manufacturing technologies
for sheet metal, machining, bonding, plumbing
by localizing manufacturing technologies and
acquired engine production/test technologies.
Korean air also achieved a localization ratio up to
52% and successfully performed the AIP(Avionics
Improvement Program) for Army, Navy, Air Force
special mission support.
The SB427 is a small multi-purpose helicopter
launched for joint development in 1996 by KAI and
Bell Helicopter of U.S. and FAA certified in 1999. This
utility helicopter is the first aircraft to be issued the
type certification by the Korean Ministry of Land,
Transport and Maritime Affairs. Its development
marks the advance of the Koreas aviation industry.
KAI acquired sales rights for not only the Korean
market but also the Chinese market as well as Asian
OEM rights in July 2000. It exported the first SB427 to
a Chinese client thereby achieving Koreas aspiration
to join the ranks of helicopter exporting nations.

developing and producing small reconnaissance
helicopters that can execute missions such as patrol,
search, route exploitation and combat in both day
and night under unfavorable weather conditions
by mounting armament and electronic equipment
suitable for Korean battlefields.
KAI, at the end of 1997, concluded an agreement
for small reconnaissance helicopter development
and production with the Korean government based
on technical importation from German Eurocopter
Co. and successfully completed development of the
reconnaissance system in the following 2 years. It
delivered a prototype to the Korean Army in Jan. 2000
and the last delivery in Dec. 2000 and is currently
providing follow-up support.
KHP Program
The KHP(Korean Helicopter Program) is a program
to develop a utility helicopter suited for Koreas
operational environment and to replace the ROK
Armys aging fleet of 500MD and UH-1H helicopters.
This indigenous development program began in June
2006 and aims for the completion by 2012.
The KUH was state-sponsored by the Defense
Acquisition Program Administration(DAPA) and
Ministry of Knowledge Economy(currently the
Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy) costing 1.3
trillion won. It was the biggest Korean state-project,
its development lead by KAI, ADD(Agency for
Defense Development), and KARI(Korea Aerospace
Research Institute) and participated by 98 Korean
partner vendors, 49 overseas partner vendors, and
28 academic/research institutes.
From December 2012 to February 2013, the Surion
was moved to Alaska to test its capability in -32C
temperature. Through 50 test flights, it succeeded
in completing all of the 121 low-temperature test
items.
The Surion officially completed its development in
March 2013, making South Korea the 11th country
in the world to develop helicopters.
With proven track records and technologies
demonstrated through the past fixed-wing aircraft
development programs for the KT-1 and T-50 and
military helicopter FLIR installation programs, KAI
is leading the successful development of this new-
technology helicopter.
KAI is developing helicopters derived from Surion
for police and marine landing purposes. The police
helicopter which began development in Nov 2011
acquired the Safety Of Flight Certificate and was
delivered in 2013. The landing helicopter for marines
is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2015.
In addition, KAI is going to upgrade/develop civilian,
medevac, maritime operations helicopters to expand
its aircraft industry infrastructure, and it plans to
substitute imported helicopters in Korea to reduce
foreign currency expenditure and strengthen self-
built national defense power.

KAI secured the core technologies for design,
manufacturing and flight test control through
developing and producing corps-level reconnaissance
UAV RQ-101, and operating support and performance
improvement projects. Also, through its preliminary
research and development, KAI is accumulating
development technology for various UAVs(next corps-
level UAV, Bandi OPV, combat UAV etc), in order to
prepare for future UAVs. The recently developed
suicide combat UAV Devil Killer can be used both on
land and sea, and it can be remotely controlled after
the coordinates are set, to destroy weapons hidden
behind mountains.
The Night Intruder 100 is the
most advanced model of the
Night Intruder family. With
its compact size, light weight
body and a Ground Control
Station equipped with a data
link, launcher and net recovery
system, the Night Intruder 100
is the optimum UAV solution
that meets future operational
requirements and environment.
Korean Air had successfully
completed development of the
close-range UAV(forest f ire/
coast guard) KUS-7, in 2007.
Most parts except the engine
were localized in the KUS-7.
Aircraft Programs | UAV Program
The UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is an uncrewed aircraft remotely controlled on the ground which performs the missions autonomously or via pre-
programmed flight plan. Generally, the UAV has been
utilized for tactical surveillance/reconnaissance,
special purposes such as target search and tracking,
command & control relay, and electronic warfare and
combat in the military area. The UAV is also expanding
its application in the commercial area, performing
duties such as remote observation, homeland security,
communication relay, weather data acquisition and
cartography.
The Night Intruder 300(RQ-101) manufactured by KAI
is Koreas first domestic unmanned aerial vehicle for
reconnaissance use. The development program was
completed in 2000 with KAI as the main contractor
for Korea government. It has the capability to transmit
real-time images to the ground in bad weather and
night, through remote control from the ground or
pre-programmed auto flight. KAI has secured key
technology for UAV development, such as system
design and manufacturing, test & evaluation, training
operators, etc. KAI is now expanding its business
scope into various UAV systems for the military and
commercial sectors.

KUS-TRKUS-9
KUS-7 can surveil and reconnoiter the region up to a
50 km radius at 2 km altitude remotely.
The UAV system can be operated in automated mode
and has an automatic emergency recovery mode that
automatically leads the UAV to a safe landing area.
Korean Air, which is on the verge of developing the
worlds first tilt-rotor UAV, began to co-develop
with KARI in 2011, the KUS-TR, a tilt-rotor UAV with
VTOL(vertical takeoff and landing) capability. Korean
Air is preparing to venture into the global market with
this self-developed technology for both civilian and
military customers. The multipurpose VTOL UAV tilt-
rotor is a new type of UAV equipped with both the
advantages of the fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft,
and capable of high-speed. It is an aircraft with tilt-
rotor technology. The core technology Tilt-rotor
demands precise state-of-the-art control capabilities,
so only the United States has been able to apply this
technology so far, but it had not been applied to UAVs
yet.
In addition to the tilt-rotor UAV, Korean Air has
developed the close-range surveillance UAV KUS-
9. It is planning to also develop divisional-level
reconnaissance UAV KUS-DUAS by this year. The KUS-
DUAS was developed for the mountainous Korean
geography. It can take-off from a launcher or runway
making it possible to use it in narrow regions. The
landing components can be replaced with either wheel
type or skid type, and during emergency, a parachute
can be launched for landing. After landing, it can be
retrieved through nets.
Also, the medium altitude multipurpose UAV KUS-
15 development is slated to be completed by 2017.
For military purposes, this UAV can be used not
only for basic purposes such as surveillance and
reconnaissance, but also for communication relay and
signals intelligence collection.
In addition to this, the UAV supplier Uconsystem has
developed RemoEye, TRotor, MultiRoter.

from Russia. The Korean government plans to develop
a rocket built entirely with Korean technology by 2020.
To achieve this goal, it is currently seeking to attract
participation of various industries, which in turn will
greatly facilitate the development of the Korean space
industry.
In 2012, Korea successfully launched the KOMPSAT-3
satellite, and in 2013, the KSLV-I, KOMPSAT-5 and
STSAT-3.
KOMPSAT-3A, mounted with both infra-red camera
and electro-optical camera, was developed in relation
to KOMPSAT-3 to maximize use of technology,
resources, facilities and minimize development
risk, cost, and time. KOMPSAT-3A is expected to be
launched in the second half of 2014.
The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning
announced in its long term space development plan
that it has moved up the Korea space launch vehicle
development from its original timeline of 2021 to
2020. In addition, the government is planning to enter
the commercial launch service market by obtaining
orders from foreign satellite launching industry on the
basis of Koreas launch vehicle, and to develop mid-
Earth orbit satellites and geostationary orbit launch
vehicles to enlarge the field of space development.
By 2020, the ministry plans to launch an indigenously
developed lunar orbiter and lunar lander with KSLV-II.
Koreas space program began with its
development of the KITSAT-1, a small
scientific research satellite, in the early
1990s, 30~40 years later than the leading
countries considering that the US and Russia began
their space programs in the 1950s and Japan and
China in the 1960s.
Although the Korean space industrys current
international standing is not high, the government is
establishing and implementing plans to activate the
industry under the goal of cultivating the aerospace
industry into the nations driver of growth in the 21st
century.
Since developing the KITSAT-1 satellite in 1992, Korea
has launched 11 satellites into space, through which
it acquired a high level of satellite technology. Despite
the short history of its space program, Koreas space
technology has displayed unprecedented growth,
developing the KOMPSAT-2 to become the worlds 7th
country to develop a 1m-resolution satellite.
In 2009, Korea completed construction of the Naro
Space Center and acquired all 3 requirements -
satellite, space center, and rocket - for satellite
launching through the successful launch of the Naro
rocket. However, the Naro rocket was not made entirely
from Korean technology. It was built in cooperation
with Russia, and the 1st stage rocket was brought in

STSAT-1 was developed for the purpose of astronomical and space environment
observation with a budget of 1.169 billion won. Payloads included a Far Ultraviolet
Imaging Spectrograph, Solid State Telescope, Data Collection System, and Narrow
Angle Star Sensor. The main payload, the Far Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph, was
developed jointly by the Korea Astronomy & Space Science Institute and UC Berkeley. In
August, 2003, the Korean Ministry of Science & Technology signed an MOU with NASA
on sharing the images obtained through the jointly-developed Far Ultraviolet Imaging
Spectrograph. This strengthened the international status of Koreas space program as
it marked the US first participation in a space program initiated by Korea. STSAT-1 was
successfully launched on September 27, 2003, aboard a COSMOS-3M rocket, from the
Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia. The STSAT-1 ended its operation in 2009.
Development of KITSAT-2 began in October, 1992, three months after the successful
launch of KITSAT-1. KITSAT-2 was jointly developed by Korean researchers and a team
of researchers dispatched to Korea from Surrey University and launched on September
26, 1993.
Although KITSAT-2 looks similar to KITSAT-1, it differed significantly in the equipment
installed. It was equipped with an Earth Imaging System that used domestically
produced CCDs, a Low Energy Electron Detector, an Infared Sensor Experiment System,
a Digital Store and Forward Communication Experiment System, and a next-generation
satellite computer. The satellite was small, weighing approximately 48kg and employed
a spin stabilization attitude control system.

Koreas development of satellites began with the launch of the KAIST Satellite Research
Centers KITSAT-1 satellite by an Ariane rocket from the Kourou Space Center in
French Guiana on August 11, 1992. The launch of KITSAT-1 enabled Korea to become
a satellite-operating country. To cultivate engineers and acquire the basic technology,
KAIST received technology from Surrey University and successfully constructed and
launched the 42kg KITSAT-1.
KITSAT-3 was Koreas indigenously designed and developed satellite based on
technology and experience acquired through the development of KITSAT-1 and 2.
KITSAT-3 is Koreas first satellite since its establishment of a mid-to-long term plan for
basic space development in 1996. The development period was 4 years, from October
1995 to October 1999, at a budget of 8 billion won.
KITSAT-3 weighed 100kg, more than double the KITSAT-1 and 2, and had one solar
panel on each side, and employed a 3-axis stabilization system for attitude control.
Equipment included ped with a Multispectral Earth Imaging System that used high-
precision CCDs, a High Energy Particle Telescope, an Electron Temperature Probe, and
a Scientific Magnetometer.
KITSAT-3 was successfully launched on an Indian PSLV on May 26, 1999.

STSAT-2C
STSAT-2 is a 100kg low earth orbit satellite developed from October,
2002 to December, 2005. Unlike the geostationary satellites that rotate
above the equator on the geostationary orbit(36,000km) one to two
times per day and are used for commercial and military purposes, the
low-orbit satellite STSAT-2 rotates around 300~1500km above earth
almost hourly and is appropriated for weather forecast and geological
exploration purposes.
STSAT-2 was to be launched into space on the indigenously developed Naro(KSLV-1) rocket developed by KAIST
Satellite Technology Research CenterSaTReCbut was lost due to two explosions, each on August 25, 2009 and June
10, 2010. Therefore, the earths atmosphere Observation plans to use STSAT-2 failed, and on January 30, 2013, on
the third and last launch of Naro(KSLV-1) rocket, the STSAT-2C was launched instead of the STSAT-2.
STSAT-3(Science and Technology Satellite-3) is the
6th satellite to be developed at the KAIST Satellite
Research Center. STSAT-3 is Koreas first infrared space
observation satellite. It was successfully launched in
November, 2013 from Yasny base in Russia. STSAT-3
was launched on the Russian launch vehicle Dnepr.
Six hours after it was launched, STSAT-3 passed
near South Korean skies and succeeded in making
contact with KAIST SaTReC ground station at 10:10
p.m. STSAT-3 is mounted with MIRIS(Multi-purpose
IR Imagining system) and COMIS(Compact Imaging
System).
STSAT-2C is the scienced and technology
satellite launched on KSLV-1. The perigee is
300km and the apogee is 1500km. Launched
on January 30, 2013, it circles Earth every 103
minutes to check if the satellite has entered
orbit and to explore space environment.
Although it was numbered STSAT-2C, it is
different from the previous STSAT-2(STSAT-2A
and STSAT-2B) launched on the first and second
flights of KSLV-I .
STSAT-2C was developed indigenously using
Korean technology. It weighs around 100kg and
is used for solar storm observation and laser
communication. At the same time it will serve
to verify how Korean manufactured components
work in space.

In December 1999, the KOMPSAT-2 project to develop a highly advanced remote sensing satellite was launched with
the technology obtained through the KOMPSAT-1 project. KOMPSAT-2 was successfully launched on July 28, 2006
by a Rocket launch vehicle at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern
Russia. It weighs 800 kg and has 1,000 watts of power and is operating
at the same orbital altitude of KOMPSAT-1.KOMPSAT-2, equipped
with an MSC(Multi-Spectral Camera) able to acquire 1 m resolution
panchromatic images and 4 m resolution color images. The MSC can
resolve a building and even a car. The high resolution images will be
used for various applications such as surveillance of massive natural
disasters, utilization of mineral resources, construction of Geographic
Information System(GIS), and cartography. According to the National
Space Development Program, KOMPSAT-3 and 5 will be developed and
new projects for another three satellites will begin by the year 2010.
KOMPSAT-3, Koreas 13th satellite launched in May 2012, is equipped with a 70cm-definition electro-optical camera
referred to as AEISS, which is capable of distinguishing the model of automobiles as well as read road directions on
the roads. With the launch of KOMPSAT-3, Korea became the fourth in the world after the US, Europe, and Israel to
operate a sub-meter satellite capable of distinguishing objects under 1 meter in size. The definitions of color images
is 2.8m. KOMPSAT-3 is expected to secure the bridgehead for Koreas entry into the high-definition satellite image
market dominated by the US and Europe.
KOMPSAT-3A was built with the aim of developing a low earth orbit(LEO) earth observation satellite equipped with
electro-optical and infrared camera. KARI oversaw the development and electro-optical equipment development. KAI
and AP Aerospace consortium developed the main body
and research agencies are participating to develop the
infrared sensor. Numerous other domestic companies
are also participating in the development.
KOMPSAT-3A development began in 2006 and will be
launched in the second half of the year from Russia.
The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and
KARI forecasts that if the Satellite 3A infrared images
are added to the electro-optical and radar images taken
by the previously launched KOMPSAT-3 and 5, it will
be possible to become independent regarding the
geological information technology.

Based on specifications determined in May 1991, development of the KOREASAT-1 was put to an international bid.
A contract was signed on August 1990, with GE as the manufacturer of the satellite and McDonnell Douglas Delta
2 Rocket as the delivery vehicle. KOREASAT-1 was launched at the Cape Canaveral US Air Force base in Florida on
August 5, 1995. The satellite missed its original orbit by 6,000km when one of the nine support rockets failed to
properly detach. It successfully entered full orbit by ejecting fuel, but its service life was reduced from the original 10
years to 4 years and 4 months.
KOMPSAT-5 was developed as an all-weather Earth observation satellite to meet Koreas demands for imaging. It was
successfully launched on August 22, 2013 from Yasny, Russia.
KOMPSAT-5 is equipped with SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) which synthesizes the particles that are reflected when
the microwaves are shot to land to create an image. This overcomes the limits of the previous electro-optical satellites
that could not observe during cloudy weather or during the night.
Along with electro-optical satellites KOMPSAT-2 and 3, KOMPSAT-5 will be used to collect images from 550km above
altitude for public safety, national resource management and disaster monitoring in the next five years of its mission
life so that accurate information will be swiftly sent when national disasters occur.

KOREASAT-2 was built as a backup to KOREASAT-1. It compensated for
KOREASAT-1s reduction in service life. Its successful launch allowed Korea
continued satellite communication services. July 9, 1997 - the objective of the
KSR-2 development program was to develop a 2-stage medium-sized scientific
rocket that could deliver a payload of 150kg to an altitude of 150km for
observation of ion and ozone layers above the Korea Peninsula. The program
was led by KARIand conducted from November 1993 to July 1998 with a total
budget of 5.2 billion won.
It was successfully launched from Anheung Test Facility in Koreas west coast
on July 9, 1997, but failed to conduct observations. Later, in June 11, 1998 a
second launch was successfully carried out, with successful observation of
ozone layer distribution and X-rays over the Korea Peninsula.

The KOREASAT-3 project was carried out to continue
satellite services after the end of KOREASAT-1s service
life. KOREASAT-3, which replaced KOREASAT-1 was
a large satellite that weighed 2,800kg and reached
19.2m in length.
The satellite was built by Lockheed Martin and the
delivery vehicle was the Ariane 4 rocket
built by Ariane Space. Successfully launched on
September 5, 1999, from the Kourou Space Center
in French Guiana, KOREASAT-3, unlike KOREASAT-1
and 2, had 4 motion antennas that allowed it to switch
service areas from the ground. This enabled it to
provide relay services to as far as Southeast Asia.
In order to maintain the orbit due to selling
KOREASAT-3, KT plans to launch KOREASAT-7 within
2016.
KOREASAT-5 was the first satellite to be developed
jointly by the military and commercial sectors, and
was developed through Alcatel of France and launched
on August 22, 2006 from international waters near
the equator by Sea Launch of the US. KOREASAT-5
replaced KOREASAT-3 and was the result of knowhow
in satellite operation accumulated over the years.
It strengthened the status of Korean commercial
satellites by providing a multitude of services including
high-speed data communication and video services.
KOREASAT-6 is a broadcasting and communications
satellite successfully launched by KT on Decemeber 29,
2010. KT, in cooperation with Thales Alenia Space(TAS)
of France, launched KOREASAT-6 to provide direct
broadcasting and to enable internet services in
mountainous and remote regions. KOREASAT-6 was
launched from the Kourou Spaceport in French Guiana
on December 29, 2010 and place in geostationary
orbit at an altitude of 36,000km. It is used for SkyLife
satellite broadcasting service.

KOREASAT-5 bears significance in the fact that it
enabled a wider service area covering the Korea
Peninsula, Japan, China, and the Philippines, compared
to previous satellites whose service areas were
limited to the Korean Peninsula. It directly broadcasts
Korean contents to Koreas neighbors and provides
internet connection to Korean companies operating
in the countries. It is also used in marine and military
communication activities which require high-speed
data communication.
KOREASAT-5 suffered from a solar-array drive
mechanism failure used to generate power, and needs
to be replaced by another satellite. KT is planning
to launched KOREASAT-5A in 2017 to replace
KOREASAT-5.

Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite(COMS) is Koreas first geostationary orbit satellite jointly developed by KARI and French
aerospace company Astrium with support from the
Ministry of Education, Science and Technology;
Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs;
Korea Meteorological Administration; and the Korea
Communications Commission. Development began in
2003, with KARI playing the major role. COMS, which
is Koreas first and the worlds seventh geostationary
orbit satellite, was successfully launched in 2010.
After completing tests, it began providing weather
observation services to the public in 2011. COMS
will remain in a geostationary orbit at an altitude of
36,000Km, providing satellite communication and
performing ocean and weather observation missions
for the seven years,
With the successful launch of COMS, Korea has
become the seventh country in the world to operate a
weather satellite. COMS is expected to contribute to
strengthening Koreas weather observation system by
Space Programs | Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite Program
providing weather information once every 15 minutes
at normal times and once every 8 minutes during
emergency periods, in contrast to the satellite weather
information currently received from Japan once every
30 minutes. It will also upgrade Koreas status from a
recipient to a provider of weather information.
In addition, COMS sea observation capabilities is
expected to contribute to the management of the
countrys marine territory, by enabling the effective
management of marine resources and preservation
of the marine environment, while its indigenously
developed communications unit is expected to aid the
establishment of a next-generation communication
system in the country by enabling space certification
and public communications services.
The development of COMS has contributed greatly to
the advancement of Koreas technology in medium sized
geostationary satellites, and is expected to become
an opportunity for further enhancing the countrys
satellite technology.

The Korean National Science and Technology Council issued a plan for a National Space Program which could be an important milestone in
the history of science in Korea. The plan addressed the
development of new space launch vehicles named
Korea Space Launch Vehicle(KSLV). The KSLV program
consists of two consecutive low-earth orbit(LEO) launch
vehicle developments: the KSLV-I and KSLV-II. The
payloads are a 100kg-class satellite for KSLV-I and a
1.5 ton-class satellite for KSLV-II. The Korea Aerospace
Research Institute(KARI) has taken responsibility for
the KSLV development process, and the KSLV program
office in KARI was newly re-organized to include many
experienced rocket engineers. KARI already successfully
carried out the development of single-staged sounding
rockets(Korea Sounding Rocket-I: KSR-I), two-staged
sounding rockets(Korea Sounding Rocket-II: KSR-II)
and KSR-III. While both KSR-I and KSR-II had a solid
propellant rocket engine, KSR-III had a liquid propellant
rocket engine, which was Koreas first step in liquid
propellant rocket engine development.
Space Programs | Launch Vehicle Program
KARI built KSLV-I as a space development project of the
Ministry of Education and Science Technology. KSLV-I
project aims to build a space launch vehicle to launch
a 100kg-class STSAT into the low-earth orbit with a
perigee of 300km and an apogee of 1500km. Through
this development project KARI designed, manufactured,
tested and launched the launch vehicle and secured orbit
insertion technology and launched operation technology.
On January 30, 2013 during the third trial, the STSAT-
2C was successfully launched on KSLV-I from Naro
Space Center in Goheung, and was placed on the low-
earth orbit. With this success, South Korea became the
worlds 11th country to launch a launch vehicle with its
own indigenous technology. KSLV-II(Korea Space Launch
Vehicle-II) is planned to be completed by 2020. This
rocket development will serve as a technological basis to
build a middle earth orbit and geostationary orbit rocket
and large scale geostationary orbit rocket in the future.

ceremony was held on June 11, 2009. With completion
of the NARO space, Korea joined the ranks of the space
development leaders by becoming the worlds 13th
nation to possess a space center.
As a facility to launch indigenously developed satellites
and launch vehicles from Korean territory, the space
center has a 2km safety zone and meets all other
conditions required to launch rockets into space.
Key missions and functions of the Naro space center
include final assembly and inspection of launch
vehicles and satellites, launch preparation and
execution, flight safety management and control,
remote measurement of fight status data, development
of launch technology-related measuring technology,
rocket engine development tests and launch-related
performance tests.
In 2013, Naro Space Center successfully launched
Koreas first space launch vehicle Naro mounted with
Naro STSAT-2C(Science and Technology Satellite-2C).
Currently, development is under way to build the Korea
Space Launch Vehicle-II(KSLV-II).
