For those confused with the ever-changing space plans:
– Nuri KSLV-II launches will continue to improve success rate: 5th ~ 11th rocket = 2026 ~ 2032, 1 launch per year.
– 2029 = lunar orbit communication satellite using KSLV-II (Launch conducted primarily by Hanwha Aero)
– 2030 = private-public cooperation on lunar lander
– KSLV-III will have its first flight test in 2031 = reusable rocket. The engines are already in development by the Hyundai Rotem – Korean Air – Perigee Aerospace Consortium.
– 2032 = Government’s national lunar lander using KLSV III
– 2035 = Korean Starlink complete using KSLV-III
the 2030 target is aggressive but the strategic logic makes sense. a domestic lunar lander capability is basically dual-use infrastructure for long-range ballistic development, and the Starlink equivalent is about reducing dependence on foreign comms in a crisis. Korea watched what happened to Ukraine when Starlink access became a political lever. building redundancy now is the rational move.
