Jeonnam Governor Kim Young-rok "Congratulations on Chosun University Cube Satellite Launch and Reception Success"

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeonnam Province, congratulated the successful deployment and signal reception of Chosun University’s CubeSat aboard the Nuri rocket.

On the 29th at around 4:50 PM, the CubeSat made by Chosun University was first ejected from the performance verification satellite of the Nuri rocket, which was launched on the 21st, and the ground station received some status information (beacon signal) from the satellite.

The Chosun University CubeSat was selected through the 5th CubeSat Competition held in 2019, hosted by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, and will carry out Earth observation missions such as monitoring the temperature of Baekdusan’s Heaven Lake for one year.

The Nuri rocket carried satellites developed by four universities including Chosun University, Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and KAIST.

Jeonnam Province plans to lead the development of the national space industry by establishing a ‘space launch vehicle industrial cluster’ that includes core space development infrastructure, a comprehensive support center for private companies, and professional workforce training in line with the ‘New Space’ era led by private enterprises.

They will build a close cooperative system with regional universities such as Chosun University and Suncheon National University in Gwangju and Jeonnam to support the space launch vehicle industrial cluster, and will jointly promote professional workforce training projects to provide excellent personnel to launch vehicle-related companies that will relocate to Jeonnam in the future.

Governor Kim said, “I deeply appreciate and warmly congratulate Professor Oh Hyun-woong of the Department of Smart Mobile Convergence Systems Engineering at Chosun University and the participating research team who devoted their utmost efforts to manufacturing the CubeSat despite harsh conditions.”
