With President Moon Jae-in present, the second combustion test of the first stage propulsion engine of the Korean launch vehicle’Nuri (KSLV-2)’ is in progress at the Naroju Center in Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do on the afternoon of the 25th. The Nuri is a launch vehicle that can enter a 1.5-ton utility satellite into the low Earth orbit of 600-800 km, and development is underway with a plan to launch in October.

President Moon Jae-in visited the Naroju Center in Goheung, Jeollanam-do on the 25th to observe the combustion test of the Korean launch vehicle’Nuri’. It was a pre-planned schedule, but as North Korea launched a ballistic missile provocation at the dawn of this day, attention was drawn to the President’s visit to the projectile test. The image of President Moon clapping while looking at the projectile emitting black smoke with a flash of light and Kim Jong-un, who commanded the missile provocation with a bright smile, strangely overlapped the past photos.
Of course, the projectiles watched by the two have opposite characteristics in that they are satellite projectiles and weapons systems for mass destruction, each with a peaceful purpose. North Korea launched two projectiles that are supposed to be ballistic missiles in the area of Hamgyeongnam-do early in the morning, and launched a provocation in more than a year after the launch of a super-sized missile in March last year. It has not been confirmed whether North Korean leader Kim Jong-un observed the launch. The Blue House held the NSC Standing Committee, presided over by the head of the National Security Office, Seo Hoon, and expressed deep concern to the North.

The results of North Korea’s missile test launch are not yet known, but the South’s projectile combustion test ended successfully. After the second combustion test was successful on February 25th, the last combustion test before the launch on that day was successful, and the development of the Nuri was virtually completed. The Nouriho consists of a clustered (bundled) four 75t-class liquid engines, a second-stage unit consisting of one 75t-class liquid engine, and a third-stage 7t-thrust liquid engine. It is a Korean launch vehicle that can enter a 1.5t-class utility satellite into low Earth orbit from 600 to 800 km in the air, and is expected to be launched at the Naro Space Center in October.

Korea has used foreign launch vehicles such as Russia and France to send its own satellites into space. On the 22nd, the next-generation medium-sized satellite 1 was mounted and launched on the Russian launch vehicle’Soyooz 2.1′. If the Nuri is successfully launched in October, Korea will be ranked as one of the seven largest space powers equipped with both launch vehicles and multi-purpose satellites. After attending the combustion test, President Moon met with researchers and asked, “We will realize the dream of a space power that launches our satellites from our land with our own projectiles.”
