Hanwha Aero Holds 'New Space Era' Commemoration Event at Hanwha Eagles Home Stadium

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Hanwha Aerospace announced on the 7th that it held 'Hanwha Aerospace Day' at Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park, the home stadium of the Hanwha Eagles, to wish for the successful launch of Nuri and to commemorate the opening of the New Space era.

Hanwha Aerospace invited Yu Jisang and Jeon Eunbi, members of the Korea Science and Space Youth Corps, to participate in the ceremonial first pitch and first bat events, aiming to motivate young people interested in space and science and to convey its commitment to nurturing talent in the New Space sector.

During the game, the scoreboard displayed videos themed around future mobility such as space and drones, highlighting key moments like home runs, strikeouts, and hits, capturing the attention of spectators.

A Hanwha Aerospace official said, "This event was held to express our anticipation for the upcoming New Space era," adding, "We plan to demonstrate Hanwha's commitment to the space industry through continuous and diverse activities rather than one-time events."

Hanwha Aerospace is the only gas turbine engine manufacturer in Korea, having started its gas turbine engine overhaul business in 1979 and entered the aircraft engine business, producing over 9,000 engines cumulatively to date. It is responsible for the production and assembly of six engines for the Korean launch vehicle Nuri, scheduled for launch on the 21st.

Additionally, by recently acquiring shares in Setrec Eye, a domestic satellite specialist company, Hanwha Aerospace is expanding its business into the domestic and international space industry. It is actively leading the space industry in the New Space era by signing agreements related to in-situ resource utilization with six government-funded research institutes for the first time in Korea.
