The aerospace industry is a high value-

added industry, the culmination of the

latest, cutting-edge technology and at

the same time, an important industry

which forms the foundation of national defense

and national security.

In less than a generation, the Republic of Korea

overcame its dire situation akin to wasteland

and created supersonic advanced trainers,

state-of-the-art helicopters, and satellites, and

continuously developed its aerospace industry.

The Republic of Korea has recently made

significant achievements even amidst global

financial expectations and uncertainties. In the

field of aircraft, the Korean helicopter Surion

development was officially completed, making

South Korea into the worlds 11th country to

indigenously develop helicopters, and the

Korean supersonic aircraft T-50i was exported

to Indonesia in a ferry flight, making Korea the

worlds sixth country to export a supersonic

aircraft. Also, Korea made great achievement

in export by signing a 1.1 billion dollar deal to

deliver FA-50 aircraft to Iraq, the largest amount

in the history of national defense export. In the

field of space, Korea successfully launched the

Naro rocket, KOMPSAT-5 and STSAT-3.

Chairmans Message

Koreas domestic aerospace industry is expected

to continue to grow this year. Based on the

Basic Plan for the Development of Aircraft

Industry, the blueprint which aims to place

Korea among the top 7 global position by 2020,

existing projects will follow the growth pattern

and new projects will be launched smoothly. In

particular, this year, the KFX project and Light

Armed Helicopter, civil helicopter project and

other major programs are scheduled to begin.

In addition, other important national aerospace

industry developments such as the Surion-based

helicopter variant, commercial aircraft project,

KSLV-II etc are planned. If these projects are

successful, Koreas goal of producing 20 billion

dollars and exporting 10 billion dollars to enter

the Global 7 tier in aerospace industry by 2020

will soon be reached.

In export by country, exports to the US(Boeing) took up 46%, while exports to France, UK, and Germany

(Airbus) took up 25%. Thus, 71% of exports were to the US and Europe. This is a natural result stemming from

the fact that commercial area takes up the majority of Koreas export, and that Boeing and Airbus dominate

the global aircraft market. The trend is pointing towards an expansion to global vendors such as VOUGHT,

BELL, SPIRIT, KHI. Peru and Canada are rising in the list of countries for export. (Table 2, Figure 2)

In domestic production by demand, dependence on military demand fell from over 70% in the past to 60%

due to the growth of commercial sector, but the ratio is still far from that of the global market(military 20 :

commercial 80). In order to increase production for the commercial sector, the domestic demand, which is

very low compared to exports, must be increased. (Table 3, Figure 3)

Performance in the space sector was low, the ratio between production in aviation and space being 9:1. At

the end of last year, the government announced the Mid-to-Long Term Space Development Plan which was

meaningful in that it detailed the development of space industry. The first goal is to export over 100 billion

won worth of satellites by 2017. Along with this first goal, is to build KSLV(Korea Space Launch Vehicle)-II by

2020. If these two goals are reached, they will provide sufficient basis for the Korean space industry to secure

commercial value.

The amount in orders in 2013 was 8.4 billion dollars, an increase by 137% from the previous year, while

backlogs reached 10 billion dollars for three consecutive years. The key contributing factors were not only the

increase in orders for civilian aircraft parts but also the increase in production and sales of the T-50 and KUH

in the military sector, which lead to the overall increase. (Table 4)

Such a positive trend is expected to continue this year, and the amount in orders are expected to reach a

whooping 9.5 billion dollars due to the large production volumes and additional export in the military sector

and additional large-volume orders in the commercial sector.

Trade deficit, which had continued to fall after being maintained for a long period at around 2 billion dollars

since the 1990s, increased to record 3.3 billion dollars in 2011, then decreased again since 2012 to 1.6 billion

dollars. This is a result of the decrease in purchase of transportation aircraft and the continued increase in

export of parts to Boeing and Airbus and the export of finished aircraft such as the T-50 trainer that reduced

the trade deficit compared to the previous year. In particular, the two major airlines and low cost carriers

have decreased their purchase of aircraft compared to the previous year, and this level is expected to remain

similar this year or decrease slightly. On the other hand, domestic aircraft industry is expected to pick up

speed due to the export of T-50 trainer and internationally co-developed parts, so although the trade deficit

might fluctuate with the economic situation, it is not expected to increase. (Table 5)

The number of people working in the aerospace industry in 2013 was 11,111 a small increase from the

previous year. The 10,000 people level is being maintained since 2010. Increase in deliveries overseas and

increase in export of finished products are expected to push the number to 11,544 by 2014. (Table 6)

Aircraft Programs

The emergence of the Korea aircraft industry is

highlighted by the start of overhaul maintenance

of the L-19 reconnaissance aircraft in 1955 and

maintenance of the C-130 transport/military aircraft

until the early 1970s.

However, since the mid 1970s, Korea began production of

compact helicopters under license from Hughes Aircraft.

In 1978, the government enacted the Aircraft Industry

Promotion Act to promote and support the development of

the aircraft industry, and established the institutional basis

such as systems for providing subsidies to attract investment

from foreign aircraft companies. In the 1980s, Korea sought

joint production of Northrops F-5 E/F fighter aircraft and

since the mid 1980s produced parts for commercial aircraft

manufacturers such as Boeing. Since 1990, Korean Air

produced 000 UH-60P(Blackhawk) helicopters under license

from Sikorsky Aircraft and supplied them to the Korea military

forces. Since 1995, Samsung Aerospace(merged with KAI)

produced 000 KF-16 fighters under license from Lockheed

Martin and delivered them to the ROKAF.

Aircraft production in Korea continued to grow until 1988 and

then production fell due to the end of Korean Airs 500MD

helicopter program in 1989 and delays in the KFP(Korea

Fighter Program) and H-X programs as well as temporary gaps

in domestic demand. The aircraft industry sought to offset

the increase in domestic demand through exports and thus

actively engaged in export activities and sales of aircraft to

the commercial sector. As a result, exports increased by an

annual average of 33.4% from the period of 1988 to 1992.

During this period, order value, a leading indicator of exports,

also recorded an average annual increase of 26.5%. Later,

Korea began development of indigenous aircraft with the

ADDs development of the KT-1 trainer and acquired jet plane

technology through KAIs development of the T-50 advanced

trainer.

Recently, Koreas aircraft industry has made significant

achievements despite the global financial situation combined

with hopes for recovery and uncertainty. The Korean helicopter

Surion development was officially completed, making Korea

into the 11th country to develop a helicopter, and the Korean

supersonic aircraft T-50i was exported to Indonesia through

ferry flight, making Korea the worlds sixth country to export

a supersonic aircraft. At the end of 2013, Korea signed the

largest export deal in history with Iraq, exporting 1.1 billion

dollars worth of FA-50s. In addition, Korea exported light

combat aircraft FA-50 to the Philippines.

Koreas domestic aerospace industry is expected to continue to

grow this year. Based on the Basic Plan for the Development

of Aircraft Industry, the blueprint which aims to place Korea

among the top 7 global position by 2020, existing projects will

follow the growth pattern and new projects will be launched

smoothly. In particular, this year, the KFX project and Light

Armed Helicopter, civil helicopter project and other major

programs are scheduled to begin. In addition, other important

national aerospace industry developments such as the Surion-

based helicopter variant, commercial aircraft project, UAV etc

are planned. If these projects are successful, Koreas goal of

Producing 20 billion dollars and Exporting 10 billion dollars to

enter the Global 7 tier in aerospace industry by 2020 will soon

be reached.

Changgong-91 Aircraft Program

Canard Aircraft(The Firefly) Program

Korean air set out to manufacture lightweight aircraft

and acquire system integration technology since the

1980s. Korean Air developed Changgong-91, a five-

seat lightweight aircraft in 1992 and became the first

Korean company to develop an aircraft in its entirety.

Through the achievement, Korean air has acquired

design, analysis, certification, flight test and other

abilities. Through the project, Korean air acquired

type certification from the Ministry of Construction &

Transportation.

The canard configuration is known for its superb stall characteristics and maneuverability, so it is applied to many

high performance aircraft. The development of the Firefly is expected to introduce a new design concept and extend

the designs capability. The Firefly being developed is a pusher-type four-seat aircraft, whose structure is mainly

comprised of composite materials. This aircraft will be cost-effective to manufacture, and easy and safe to fly for

training, leisure and sport. The first prototype demonstrator made its maiden flight in 2001 and has successfully

flown 43,000km. The Firefly has been exhibited at many airshows including the Oshkosh Air Convention. As a result

of upgrades to the Firefly development program, the Firefly became Koreas first exported civilian aircraft in 2006.

KC-100 Aircraft Program

F-5E/F License Production Program

KC-100, is the first Korean civil aircraft developed by KAI. This small-sized aircraft boasts a 315 horse-power engine

and seats four passengers. Its maximum speed is 363 km/hr, and it can travel up to 2,020km. This distance covers a

single flight from Seoul to any region in Japan, or some major cities in China, or parts of Southeast Asia.

Built with new material Carbon Complex, the aircraft is light, and it has been mounted with state-of-the-art engine

power control mechanism which improves fuel-efficiency. Also, its LCD integrated glass cockpit provides excellent

efficiency in piloting, and the ergonomic interior provides a comfortable ride for both pilot and passenger.

The KC-100 is expected to be used for various purposes

including transportation, pilot training, forest fire

surveillance, and seacoast patrol.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport

plans to sign the Korea-U.S. BASA for Part 23 class at

the end of this year. Once an agreement is made, it will

be possible to export small-size Korean civil aircraft to

most countries including the U.S. with just the Korean

governments certification.

This program was performed from 1980 to 1986 under

license from Northrop, and has its meaning as the first

indigenous production of fighter jets in Korea. Korean

air successfully delivered F-5E/F fighters to the ROKAF

and contributed to independent national defense.

Korean air also succeeded in localizing 15% of spare

and other parts.

11

KFP-I, KFP-II Program(KF-16)

The Korea Fighter Program(KFP) conducted with

the aim of domestic aviation industry growth is a

representative war potential strengthening program

to acquire main stream air force fighter planes by

implementing domestic licensed production through

technology adoption instead of importing completed

aircraft.

The 1st KFP program progressed by instituting 00 sets

of KF-16 fighter planes through FMS(Foreign Military

Sales) as the first stage for gradually constructing the

program management and production system and

assembled 00 fighter planes as stage 2 and localized

components for 00 aircraft in stage 3.

In addition to the 1st KFP program, the 2nd

program for additional production was also

successfully completed. The 2nd program led

to the establishment of the infrastructure for

domestic aircraft production and affiliated

infrastructures and provided the basic

framework of the domestic aviation industry.

Through the KFP program, over 4,000 advanced

aviation technology personnel were trained,

and compared to direct purchasing, 730

million dollars were saved and over 1.5 billion

dollars created in gross domestic product in

addition to other tangible achievements.

As the main contract party for the KFP, KAI, based on

its superior technical expertise and complete program

management capability completed delivery of the

final aircraft for the 1st program to the ROKAF in Apr.

2000 and the 2nd program in Aug. 2004, and through

acquisition of high-tech aviation technology and

specialists for the T-50 supersonic advanced trainer

development/production project, formed the basis for

further advancing the domestic aviation industry.

KT-1 Basic Trainer Program

KAI builds total training systems for basic and

advanced jet trainers. The KT-1, the basic training

aircraft, was the result of a joint development project

between KAI and the Koreas Agency for Defense

Development(ADD). The partnership has served

the needs of the Korea Air Force and international

customers, and has been a cornerstone and motivation

to make KAI a leader in military training aircraft and

solution provider among aerospace companies. It has

created an all-new training concept to bring smooth

transition from primary and intermediate to advance

training for todays front-line fighters.

The KT-1 is a high performance turbo-prop aircraft

enhanced with features that distinguish it from other

conventional basic training aircraft. The KT-1 delivers

the most effective training solution for multi-mission

requirement through the Ground Based Training

System(GBTS) which provides a comprehensive

training program to provide military student pilots

with primary to intermediate and advance pilot

training capability, all in one package. By employing

the KT-1 straight-through training system, the cost of

training a student pilot can be significantly reduced

and substantial savings can be realized from the

shortening of training time as well as the reduction of

training failure rates of student pilots.

The KT-1 is a multi-role aircraft designed to gain and

maintain superiority in basic training and light attack

mission, employing the latest technology to meet

the diverse requirements. The KT-1s superiority is

achieved through a mixture of excellent aerodynamic

characteristics, state-of-the-art avionics suite and sub-

system along with weapon delivery capability.

Since 2000, around 100 KT-1 related aircraft were

delivered to the Republic of Korea Air Force to be used

for basic training and light attacks. They have also

been exported to Indonesia, Turkey, and Peru.

The KA-1 forward air control aircraft was jointly

developed by ADD and KAI by adding an improved

radar and hard points for armaments. An agreement

to mass manufacture the KA-1 was made with Koreas

Defense Acquisition Program Administration, with the

first aircraft being deployed to the Korean Air Force in

2005. The KA-1 currently performs forward air control,

surveillance and reconnaissance, and light combat

roles.

T-50 Supersonic Advanced Trainer Program

The T-50 is a next-generation fight pilot trainer that

incorporates state-of-the-art advanced technologies

and avionics. The program was launched in 1997 and

the T-50 made its maiden flight in August 2002 and

a successful supersonic flight in February 2003.

Full Scale Development(FSD) of the T-50 was

f inished after 1,400 flight tests and the 1st

production aircraft was delivered to the ROKAF in

December 2005 after a production contract was

signed in 2003.

The T-50 is considered as the most advanced

supersonic trainer: With its f ighter-like system

and performance and the latest GBTS, T-50 is an

optimum platform for next generation fighter pilot

training. With the export of the T-50 to Indonesia,

Korea has become the sixth country in the world to

export supersonic aircraft.

The TA-50 is the Lead-in Fighter Trainer(LIFT) version

of the T-50 with a multi-mode radar, swing role

capability of intercept and Close Air Support(CAS)

and key A/A and A/G weapons. The aircraft also can

meet tactical mission requirement as a Light Combat

Aircraft(LCA).

The FA-50 is the LCA version of the TA-50 which

made its maiden flight in 2011. The FA-50 has a

radar that has been increased in range from the TA-

50s over 100km, and has the capability to deliver

precision guided bombs, engage in defensive

maneuvers, and perform night time missions.

Recently, 420 million dollars worth of FA-50s were

exported to the Philippines. This was the third T-50

related aircraft export following the 2011 export to

Indonesia(16 aircraft) and 2013 export to Iraq(24

aircraft).

500MD Helicopter License Production Program

UH-60 Helicopter License Production Program SB427 Helicopter Program

Korean Air manufactured the 500MD for 11 years and

5 months from Apr. 1976 to Dec. 1988 by license. It

has significance as the first aircraft production project

in Korea. Through the project, Korean air acquired the

manufacturing technologies for helicopters including

the main rotor blade and localized 42% of the parts.

Also, Korean air produced 80 items of stock parts to

support military supplies, and exported 502 body

assemblies to the USA.

Korean Air and Huges also jointly performed a project

to upgrade 500MD helicopters over 6 months from

Jul 1987 to Dec 1989. This program greatly enhanced

the 500MDs performance by increasing engine

power, upgrading the main rotor, mounting the latest

navigator, communicator, radar warning system and

adopting all-weather armament system. Korean air

acquired the technologies for systems integration and

functional test abilities through this program.

The UH-60 manufacturing program was carried

out for 10 years and 7 months from Sep. 1990

to Dec. 1999 to achieve independent national

defense according to the governments plan to

reinforce combat strength. Through this program,

airframe and engine parts were manufactured and

various components were successfully localized by

means of organizing subcontractors. The program

also contributed greatly to the foundation of the

domestic aviation industry and acquisition of aircraft

developing technologies.

Korean air secured manufacturing technologies

for sheet metal, machining, bonding, plumbing

by localizing manufacturing technologies and

acquired engine production/test technologies.

Korean air also achieved a localization ratio up to

52% and successfully performed the AIP(Avionics

Improvement Program) for Army, Navy, Air Force

special mission support.

The SB427 is a small multi-purpose helicopter

launched for joint development in 1996 by KAI and

Bell Helicopter of U.S. and FAA certified in 1999. This

utility helicopter is the first aircraft to be issued the

type certification by the Korean Ministry of Land,

Transport and Maritime Affairs. Its development

marks the advance of the Koreas aviation industry.

KAI acquired sales rights for not only the Korean

market but also the Chinese market as well as Asian

OEM rights in July 2000. It exported the first SB427 to

a Chinese client thereby achieving Koreas aspiration

to join the ranks of helicopter exporting nations.

KLH Program

KLH(Korea Light Helicopter) is a program for

developing and producing small reconnaissance

helicopters that can execute missions such as patrol,

search, route exploitation and combat in both day

and night under unfavorable weather conditions

by mounting armament and electronic equipment

suitable for Korean battlefields.

KAI, at the end of 1997, concluded an agreement

for small reconnaissance helicopter development

and production with the Korean government based

on technical importation from German Eurocopter

Co. and successfully completed development of the

reconnaissance system in the following 2 years. It

delivered a prototype to the Korean Army in Jan. 2000

and the last delivery in Dec. 2000 and is currently

providing follow-up support.

KHP Program

The KHP(Korean Helicopter Program) is a program

to develop a utility helicopter suited for Koreas

operational environment and to replace the ROK

Armys aging fleet of 500MD and UH-1H helicopters.

This indigenous development program began in June

2006 and aims for the completion by 2012.

The KUH was state-sponsored by the Defense

Acquisition Program Administration(DAPA) and

Ministry of Knowledge Economy(currently the

Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy) costing 1.3

trillion won. It was the biggest Korean state-project,

its development lead by KAI, ADD(Agency for

Defense Development), and KARI(Korea Aerospace

Research Institute) and participated by 98 Korean

partner vendors, 49 overseas partner vendors, and

28 academic/research institutes.

From December 2012 to February 2013, the Surion

was moved to Alaska to test its capability in -32C

temperature. Through 50 test flights, it succeeded

in completing all of the 121 low-temperature test

items.

The Surion officially completed its development in

March 2013, making South Korea the 11th country

in the world to develop helicopters.

With proven track records and technologies

demonstrated through the past fixed-wing aircraft

development programs for the KT-1 and T-50 and

military helicopter FLIR installation programs, KAI

is leading the successful development of this new-

technology helicopter.

KAI is developing helicopters derived from Surion

for police and marine landing purposes. The police

helicopter which began development in Nov 2011

acquired the Safety Of Flight Certificate and was

delivered in 2013. The landing helicopter for marines

is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2015.

In addition, KAI is going to upgrade/develop civilian,

medevac, maritime operations helicopters to expand

its aircraft industry infrastructure, and it plans to

substitute imported helicopters in Korea to reduce

foreign currency expenditure and strengthen self-

built national defense power.

16

KAI secured the core technologies for design,

manufacturing and flight test control through

developing and producing corps-level reconnaissance

UAV RQ-101, and operating support and performance

improvement projects. Also, through its preliminary

research and development, KAI is accumulating

development technology for various UAVs(next corps-

level UAV, Bandi OPV, combat UAV etc), in order to

prepare for future UAVs. The recently developed

suicide combat UAV Devil Killer can be used both on

land and sea, and it can be remotely controlled after

the coordinates are set, to destroy weapons hidden

behind mountains.

The Night Intruder 100 is the

most advanced model of the

Night Intruder family. With

its compact size, light weight

body and a Ground Control

Station equipped with a data

link, launcher and net recovery

system, the Night Intruder 100

is the optimum UAV solution

that meets future operational

requirements and environment.

Korean Air had successfully

completed development of the

close-range UAV(forest f ire/

coast guard) KUS-7, in 2007.

Most parts except the engine

were localized in the KUS-7.

Aircraft Programs | UAV Program

The UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is an uncrewed aircraft remotely controlled on the ground which performs the missions autonomously or via pre-

programmed flight plan. Generally, the UAV has been

utilized for tactical surveillance/reconnaissance,

special purposes such as target search and tracking,

command & control relay, and electronic warfare and

combat in the military area. The UAV is also expanding

its application in the commercial area, performing

duties such as remote observation, homeland security,

communication relay, weather data acquisition and

cartography.

The Night Intruder 300(RQ-101) manufactured by KAI

is Koreas first domestic unmanned aerial vehicle for

reconnaissance use. The development program was

completed in 2000 with KAI as the main contractor

for Korea government. It has the capability to transmit

real-time images to the ground in bad weather and

night, through remote control from the ground or

pre-programmed auto flight. KAI has secured key

technology for UAV development, such as system

design and manufacturing, test & evaluation, training

operators, etc. KAI is now expanding its business

scope into various UAV systems for the military and

commercial sectors.

KUS-TRKUS-9

KUS-7 can surveil and reconnoiter the region up to a

50 km radius at 2 km altitude remotely.

The UAV system can be operated in automated mode

and has an automatic emergency recovery mode that

automatically leads the UAV to a safe landing area.

Korean Air, which is on the verge of developing the

worlds first tilt-rotor UAV, began to co-develop

with KARI in 2011, the KUS-TR, a tilt-rotor UAV with

VTOL(vertical takeoff and landing) capability. Korean

Air is preparing to venture into the global market with

this self-developed technology for both civilian and

military customers. The multipurpose VTOL UAV tilt-

rotor is a new type of UAV equipped with both the

advantages of the fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft,

and capable of high-speed. It is an aircraft with tilt-

rotor technology. The core technology Tilt-rotor

demands precise state-of-the-art control capabilities,

so only the United States has been able to apply this

technology so far, but it had not been applied to UAVs

yet.

In addition to the tilt-rotor UAV, Korean Air has

developed the close-range surveillance UAV KUS-

9. It is planning to also develop divisional-level

reconnaissance UAV KUS-DUAS by this year. The KUS-

DUAS was developed for the mountainous Korean

geography. It can take-off from a launcher or runway

making it possible to use it in narrow regions. The

landing components can be replaced with either wheel

type or skid type, and during emergency, a parachute

can be launched for landing. After landing, it can be

retrieved through nets.

Also, the medium altitude multipurpose UAV KUS-

15 development is slated to be completed by 2017.

For military purposes, this UAV can be used not

only for basic purposes such as surveillance and

reconnaissance, but also for communication relay and

signals intelligence collection.

In addition to this, the UAV supplier Uconsystem has

developed RemoEye, TRotor, MultiRoter.

18

Force(ROKAF) to improve the Air Forces airborne

surveillance and communications system, and battle

management capability. ROKAF mounted the Boeing

B737 commercial aircraft with MESA Antenna, and

communications/navigation mission systems to

augment ROKAF airborne control capabilities.

In addition, KAI is focusing its full capacity in its long

term core business strategies which are upgrade and

modification programs for fixed-wing and rotary-wing

aircraft such as the LYNX upgrade modification project

and the FLIR mounting renovation project.

KAI is a comprehensive aircraft manufacturing

company that develops and produces aircraft and

performs maintenance, repair and overhaul(MRO)

projects which call for high-technology and

quality management capabilities. In particular, the

advanced maintenance program Performance Based

Logistics(PBL) system will ensure the safe operational

from Russia. The Korean government plans to develop

a rocket built entirely with Korean technology by 2020.

To achieve this goal, it is currently seeking to attract

participation of various industries, which in turn will

greatly facilitate the development of the Korean space

industry.

In 2012, Korea successfully launched the KOMPSAT-3

satellite, and in 2013, the KSLV-I, KOMPSAT-5 and

STSAT-3.

KOMPSAT-3A, mounted with both infra-red camera

and electro-optical camera, was developed in relation

to KOMPSAT-3 to maximize use of technology,

resources, facilities and minimize development

risk, cost, and time. KOMPSAT-3A is expected to be

launched in the second half of 2014.

The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning

announced in its long term space development plan

that it has moved up the Korea space launch vehicle

development from its original timeline of 2021 to

2020. In addition, the government is planning to enter

the commercial launch service market by obtaining

orders from foreign satellite launching industry on the

basis of Koreas launch vehicle, and to develop mid-

Earth orbit satellites and geostationary orbit launch

vehicles to enlarge the field of space development.

By 2020, the ministry plans to launch an indigenously

developed lunar orbiter and lunar lander with KSLV-II.

Koreas space program began with its

development of the KITSAT-1, a small

scientific research satellite, in the early

1990s, 30~40 years later than the leading

countries considering that the US and Russia began

their space programs in the 1950s and Japan and

China in the 1960s.

Although the Korean space industrys current

international standing is not high, the government is

establishing and implementing plans to activate the

industry under the goal of cultivating the aerospace

industry into the nations driver of growth in the 21st

century.

Since developing the KITSAT-1 satellite in 1992, Korea

has launched 11 satellites into space, through which

it acquired a high level of satellite technology. Despite

the short history of its space program, Koreas space

technology has displayed unprecedented growth,

developing the KOMPSAT-2 to become the worlds 7th

country to develop a 1m-resolution satellite.

In 2009, Korea completed construction of the Naro

Space Center and acquired all 3 requirements -

satellite, space center, and rocket - for satellite

launching through the successful launch of the Naro

rocket. However, the Naro rocket was not made entirely

from Korean technology. It was built in cooperation

with Russia, and the 1st stage rocket was brought in

STSAT-1 was developed for the purpose of astronomical and space environment

observation with a budget of 1.169 billion won. Payloads included a Far Ultraviolet

Imaging Spectrograph, Solid State Telescope, Data Collection System, and Narrow

Angle Star Sensor. The main payload, the Far Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph, was

developed jointly by the Korea Astronomy & Space Science Institute and UC Berkeley. In

August, 2003, the Korean Ministry of Science & Technology signed an MOU with NASA

on sharing the images obtained through the jointly-developed Far Ultraviolet Imaging

Spectrograph. This strengthened the international status of Koreas space program as

it marked the US first participation in a space program initiated by Korea. STSAT-1 was

successfully launched on September 27, 2003, aboard a COSMOS-3M rocket, from the

Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia. The STSAT-1 ended its operation in 2009.

Development of KITSAT-2 began in October, 1992, three months after the successful

launch of KITSAT-1. KITSAT-2 was jointly developed by Korean researchers and a team

of researchers dispatched to Korea from Surrey University and launched on September

26, 1993.

Although KITSAT-2 looks similar to KITSAT-1, it differed significantly in the equipment

installed. It was equipped with an Earth Imaging System that used domestically

produced CCDs, a Low Energy Electron Detector, an Infared Sensor Experiment System,

a Digital Store and Forward Communication Experiment System, and a next-generation

satellite computer. The satellite was small, weighing approximately 48kg and employed

a spin stabilization attitude control system.

Koreas development of satellites began with the launch of the KAIST Satellite Research

Centers KITSAT-1 satellite by an Ariane rocket from the Kourou Space Center in

French Guiana on August 11, 1992. The launch of KITSAT-1 enabled Korea to become

a satellite-operating country. To cultivate engineers and acquire the basic technology,

KAIST received technology from Surrey University and successfully constructed and

launched the 42kg KITSAT-1.

KITSAT-3 was Koreas indigenously designed and developed satellite based on

technology and experience acquired through the development of KITSAT-1 and 2.

KITSAT-3 is Koreas first satellite since its establishment of a mid-to-long term plan for

basic space development in 1996. The development period was 4 years, from October

1995 to October 1999, at a budget of 8 billion won.

KITSAT-3 weighed 100kg, more than double the KITSAT-1 and 2, and had one solar

panel on each side, and employed a 3-axis stabilization system for attitude control.

Equipment included ped with a Multispectral Earth Imaging System that used high-

precision CCDs, a High Energy Particle Telescope, an Electron Temperature Probe, and

a Scientific Magnetometer.

KITSAT-3 was successfully launched on an Indian PSLV on May 26, 1999.

STSAT-2

STSAT-3

STSAT-2C

STSAT-2 is a 100kg low earth orbit satellite developed from October,

2002 to December, 2005. Unlike the geostationary satellites that rotate

above the equator on the geostationary orbit(36,000km) one to two

times per day and are used for commercial and military purposes, the

low-orbit satellite STSAT-2 rotates around 300~1500km above earth

almost hourly and is appropriated for weather forecast and geological

exploration purposes.

STSAT-2 was to be launched into space on the indigenously developed Naro(KSLV-1) rocket developed by KAIST

Satellite Technology Research CenterSaTReCbut was lost due to two explosions, each on August 25, 2009 and June

10, 2010. Therefore, the earths atmosphere Observation plans to use STSAT-2 failed, and on January 30, 2013, on

the third and last launch of Naro(KSLV-1) rocket, the STSAT-2C was launched instead of the STSAT-2.

STSAT-3(Science and Technology Satellite-3) is the

6th satellite to be developed at the KAIST Satellite

Research Center. STSAT-3 is Koreas first infrared space

observation satellite. It was successfully launched in

November, 2013 from Yasny base in Russia. STSAT-3

was launched on the Russian launch vehicle Dnepr.

Six hours after it was launched, STSAT-3 passed

near South Korean skies and succeeded in making

contact with KAIST SaTReC ground station at 10:10

p.m. STSAT-3 is mounted with MIRIS(Multi-purpose

IR Imagining system) and COMIS(Compact Imaging

System).

STSAT-2C is the scienced and technology

satellite launched on KSLV-1. The perigee is

300km and the apogee is 1500km. Launched

on January 30, 2013, it circles Earth every 103

minutes to check if the satellite has entered

orbit and to explore space environment.

Although it was numbered STSAT-2C, it is

different from the previous STSAT-2(STSAT-2A

and STSAT-2B) launched on the first and second

flights of KSLV-I .

STSAT-2C was developed indigenously using

Korean technology. It weighs around 100kg and

is used for solar storm observation and laser

communication. At the same time it will serve

to verify how Korean manufactured components

work in space.

The KOMPSAT-1 and 2 projects accomplished the goal of developing a

payload and a bus for Low Earth Orbit(LEO) satellites for the purpose

of acquiring high level satellite technology which is essential to meet

the national spacecraft requirements as well as to obtain global market

share. KOMPSAT-1, was launched on December 21, 1999 by a Taurus

launch vehicle at Vandenberg Air Force Base in the United States. It

weighs 460 kg and has 636 watts of power. It is currently operating

at an altitude of 685 km in a sun-synchronous orbit.KOMPSAT-1 has

four payloads on board: An Electro-Optical Camera(EOC) capable of

acquiring a 6.6 m resolution panchromatic image, an Ocean Scanning Multi-Spectral Imager(OSMI) providing a 1 km

resolution multi-spectral image, an Ionosphere Measurement Sensor(IMS) and a High Energy Particle Detector(HEPD).

In December 1999, the KOMPSAT-2 project to develop a highly advanced remote sensing satellite was launched with

the technology obtained through the KOMPSAT-1 project. KOMPSAT-2 was successfully launched on July 28, 2006

by a Rocket launch vehicle at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern

Russia. It weighs 800 kg and has 1,000 watts of power and is operating

at the same orbital altitude of KOMPSAT-1.KOMPSAT-2, equipped

with an MSC(Multi-Spectral Camera) able to acquire 1 m resolution

panchromatic images and 4 m resolution color images. The MSC can

resolve a building and even a car. The high resolution images will be

used for various applications such as surveillance of massive natural

disasters, utilization of mineral resources, construction of Geographic

Information System(GIS), and cartography. According to the National

Space Development Program, KOMPSAT-3 and 5 will be developed and

new projects for another three satellites will begin by the year 2010.

KOMPSAT-3, Koreas 13th satellite launched in May 2012, is equipped with a 70cm-definition electro-optical camera

referred to as AEISS, which is capable of distinguishing the model of automobiles as well as read road directions on

the roads. With the launch of KOMPSAT-3, Korea became the fourth in the world after the US, Europe, and Israel to

operate a sub-meter satellite capable of distinguishing objects under 1 meter in size. The definitions of color images

is 2.8m. KOMPSAT-3 is expected to secure the bridgehead for Koreas entry into the high-definition satellite image

market dominated by the US and Europe.

KOMPSAT-3A was built with the aim of developing a low earth orbit(LEO) earth observation satellite equipped with

electro-optical and infrared camera. KARI oversaw the development and electro-optical equipment development. KAI

and AP Aerospace consortium developed the main body

and research agencies are participating to develop the

infrared sensor. Numerous other domestic companies

are also participating in the development.

KOMPSAT-3A development began in 2006 and will be

launched in the second half of the year from Russia.

The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and

KARI forecasts that if the Satellite 3A infrared images

are added to the electro-optical and radar images taken

by the previously launched KOMPSAT-3 and 5, it will

be possible to become independent regarding the

geological information technology.

Based on specifications determined in May 1991, development of the KOREASAT-1 was put to an international bid.

A contract was signed on August 1990, with GE as the manufacturer of the satellite and McDonnell Douglas Delta

2 Rocket as the delivery vehicle. KOREASAT-1 was launched at the Cape Canaveral US Air Force base in Florida on

August 5, 1995. The satellite missed its original orbit by 6,000km when one of the nine support rockets failed to

properly detach. It successfully entered full orbit by ejecting fuel, but its service life was reduced from the original 10

years to 4 years and 4 months.

KOMPSAT-5 was developed as an all-weather Earth observation satellite to meet Koreas demands for imaging. It was

successfully launched on August 22, 2013 from Yasny, Russia.

KOMPSAT-5 is equipped with SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) which synthesizes the particles that are reflected when

the microwaves are shot to land to create an image. This overcomes the limits of the previous electro-optical satellites

that could not observe during cloudy weather or during the night.

Along with electro-optical satellites KOMPSAT-2 and 3, KOMPSAT-5 will be used to collect images from 550km above

altitude for public safety, national resource management and disaster monitoring in the next five years of its mission

life so that accurate information will be swiftly sent when national disasters occur.

KOREASAT-2 was built as a backup to KOREASAT-1. It compensated for

KOREASAT-1s reduction in service life. Its successful launch allowed Korea

continued satellite communication services. July 9, 1997 - the objective of the

KSR-2 development program was to develop a 2-stage medium-sized scientific

rocket that could deliver a payload of 150kg to an altitude of 150km for

observation of ion and ozone layers above the Korea Peninsula. The program

was led by KARIand conducted from November 1993 to July 1998 with a total

budget of 5.2 billion won.

It was successfully launched from Anheung Test Facility in Koreas west coast

on July 9, 1997, but failed to conduct observations. Later, in June 11, 1998 a

second launch was successfully carried out, with successful observation of

ozone layer distribution and X-rays over the Korea Peninsula.

The KOREASAT-3 project was carried out to continue

satellite services after the end of KOREASAT-1s service

life. KOREASAT-3, which replaced KOREASAT-1 was

a large satellite that weighed 2,800kg and reached

19.2m in length.

The satellite was built by Lockheed Martin and the

delivery vehicle was the Ariane 4 rocket

built by Ariane Space. Successfully launched on

September 5, 1999, from the Kourou Space Center

in French Guiana, KOREASAT-3, unlike KOREASAT-1

and 2, had 4 motion antennas that allowed it to switch

service areas from the ground. This enabled it to

provide relay services to as far as Southeast Asia.

In order to maintain the orbit due to selling

KOREASAT-3, KT plans to launch KOREASAT-7 within

2016.

KOREASAT-5 was the first satellite to be developed

jointly by the military and commercial sectors, and

was developed through Alcatel of France and launched

on August 22, 2006 from international waters near

the equator by Sea Launch of the US. KOREASAT-5

replaced KOREASAT-3 and was the result of knowhow

in satellite operation accumulated over the years.

It strengthened the status of Korean commercial

satellites by providing a multitude of services including

high-speed data communication and video services.

KOREASAT-6 is a broadcasting and communications

satellite successfully launched by KT on Decemeber 29,

2010. KT, in cooperation with Thales Alenia Space(TAS)

of France, launched KOREASAT-6 to provide direct

broadcasting and to enable internet services in

mountainous and remote regions. KOREASAT-6 was

launched from the Kourou Spaceport in French Guiana

on December 29, 2010 and place in geostationary

orbit at an altitude of 36,000km. It is used for SkyLife

satellite broadcasting service.

KOREASAT-5 bears significance in the fact that it

enabled a wider service area covering the Korea

Peninsula, Japan, China, and the Philippines, compared

to previous satellites whose service areas were

limited to the Korean Peninsula. It directly broadcasts

Korean contents to Koreas neighbors and provides

internet connection to Korean companies operating

in the countries. It is also used in marine and military

communication activities which require high-speed

data communication.

KOREASAT-5 suffered from a solar-array drive

mechanism failure used to generate power, and needs

to be replaced by another satellite. KT is planning

to launched KOREASAT-5A in 2017 to replace

KOREASAT-5.

Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite(COMS) is Koreas first geostationary orbit satellite jointly developed by KARI and French

aerospace company Astrium with support from the

Ministry of Education, Science and Technology;

Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs;

Korea Meteorological Administration; and the Korea

Communications Commission. Development began in

2003, with KARI playing the major role. COMS, which

is Koreas first and the worlds seventh geostationary

orbit satellite, was successfully launched in 2010.

After completing tests, it began providing weather

observation services to the public in 2011. COMS

will remain in a geostationary orbit at an altitude of

36,000Km, providing satellite communication and

performing ocean and weather observation missions

for the seven years,

With the successful launch of COMS, Korea has

become the seventh country in the world to operate a

weather satellite. COMS is expected to contribute to

strengthening Koreas weather observation system by

Space Programs | Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite Program

providing weather information once every 15 minutes

at normal times and once every 8 minutes during

emergency periods, in contrast to the satellite weather

information currently received from Japan once every

30 minutes. It will also upgrade Koreas status from a

recipient to a provider of weather information.

In addition, COMS sea observation capabilities is

expected to contribute to the management of the

countrys marine territory, by enabling the effective

management of marine resources and preservation

of the marine environment, while its indigenously

developed communications unit is expected to aid the

establishment of a next-generation communication

system in the country by enabling space certification

and public communications services.

The development of COMS has contributed greatly to

the advancement of Koreas technology in medium sized

geostationary satellites, and is expected to become

an opportunity for further enhancing the countrys

satellite technology.

The Korean National Science and Technology Council issued a plan for a National Space Program which could be an important milestone in

the history of science in Korea. The plan addressed the

development of new space launch vehicles named

Korea Space Launch Vehicle(KSLV). The KSLV program

consists of two consecutive low-earth orbit(LEO) launch

vehicle developments: the KSLV-I and KSLV-II. The

payloads are a 100kg-class satellite for KSLV-I and a

1.5 ton-class satellite for KSLV-II. The Korea Aerospace

Research Institute(KARI) has taken responsibility for

the KSLV development process, and the KSLV program

office in KARI was newly re-organized to include many

experienced rocket engineers. KARI already successfully

carried out the development of single-staged sounding

rockets(Korea Sounding Rocket-I: KSR-I), two-staged

sounding rockets(Korea Sounding Rocket-II: KSR-II)

and KSR-III. While both KSR-I and KSR-II had a solid

propellant rocket engine, KSR-III had a liquid propellant

rocket engine, which was Koreas first step in liquid

propellant rocket engine development.

Space Programs | Launch Vehicle Program

KARI built KSLV-I as a space development project of the

Ministry of Education and Science Technology. KSLV-I

project aims to build a space launch vehicle to launch

a 100kg-class STSAT into the low-earth orbit with a

perigee of 300km and an apogee of 1500km. Through

this development project KARI designed, manufactured,

tested and launched the launch vehicle and secured orbit

insertion technology and launched operation technology.

On January 30, 2013 during the third trial, the STSAT-

2C was successfully launched on KSLV-I from Naro

Space Center in Goheung, and was placed on the low-

earth orbit. With this success, South Korea became the

worlds 11th country to launch a launch vehicle with its

own indigenous technology. KSLV-II(Korea Space Launch

Vehicle-II) is planned to be completed by 2020. This

rocket development will serve as a technological basis to

build a middle earth orbit and geostationary orbit rocket

and large scale geostationary orbit rocket in the future.

29

The NARO space center is Koreas first space vehicle launch base built on Oenaro island, South Jeolla Province to launch satellites into space using Korean

technology.

Construction began in 2002 and the completion

ceremony was held on June 11, 2009. With completion

of the NARO space, Korea joined the ranks of the space

development leaders by becoming the worlds 13th

nation to possess a space center.

As a facility to launch indigenously developed satellites

and launch vehicles from Korean territory, the space

center has a 2km safety zone and meets all other

conditions required to launch rockets into space.

Key missions and functions of the Naro space center

include final assembly and inspection of launch

vehicles and satellites, launch preparation and

execution, flight safety management and control,

remote measurement of fight status data, development

of launch technology-related measuring technology,

rocket engine development tests and launch-related

performance tests.

In 2013, Naro Space Center successfully launched

Koreas first space launch vehicle Naro mounted with

Naro STSAT-2C(Science and Technology Satellite-2C).

Currently, development is under way to build the Korea

Space Launch Vehicle-II(KSLV-II).
