[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] Yong Hong-taek, the 1st Vice Minister of the Ministry of Science and ICT, stated that the end of the Korea-US missile guidelines has created an opportunity to revitalize the private space industry.


On the 2nd, Vice Minister Yong visited the Changwon plant of Hanwha Aerospace Co., Ltd., which is participating in the development of the Korean launch vehicle 'Nuriho,' and inspected the space launch vehicle manufacturing site. The Hanwha Group has continuously participated in domestic launch vehicle development projects, from scientific rocket development to Nuriho. In particular, Hanwha Aerospace Co., Ltd. plays a central role in the engine final assembly, launch vehicle control system, and propulsion supply system development of Nuriho.


Vice Minister Yong personally observed the assembly of the 75-ton engine, the heart of Nuriho, and encouraged the personnel working on site. At this occasion, he said, "There are numerous industries that have passionately participated in the development to bring Nuriho to its current form," and added, "We will actively support the successful launch of Nuriho and work hard to revitalize the space industry in cooperation with the private sector."



Vice Minister Yong also stated, "The space industry is a core field that will lead the future, and more and more domestic companies are entering the space development market. With the recent end of the Korea-US missile guidelines, this trend is expected to accelerate further," and added, "We will actively promote policies to accelerate space industrialization and foster the space industry ecosystem."
