Deputy Director Kim stated, "By completely removing the restrictions on the use of solid fuel, we can now freely develop and use liquid, solid, and hybrid types together with the government and private sectors, just like other advanced space development countries," adding, "The Korean version of SpaceX can become a reality, not just a virtual concept."



He further said, "The space launch vehicle industry has a significant industrial impact on the overall economy of a country. Just as the shipbuilding industry transformed the national economy in the 20th century, the space launch vehicle industry will change our future in the 21st century," and added, "The space launch vehicle industry will create markets in various related fields. It is the establishment of an ecosystem for our country's space industry."
