South Korea is determined to join the space race with ambitious plans for space exploration, including a lunar base by 2045. The Korean Aerospace Administration (KASA) has outlined five core missions focusing on low-Earth orbit, lunar exploration, and space science. South Korea's journey began with the launch of Danuri, its first lunar probe, which is operational and analyzing the moon's resources. The second phase includes ambitious robotic missions and the development of a homegrown rocket to facilitate future lunar exploration without relying on foreign launch services.
South Korea aims to establish a presence in the space economy, proposing five core missions for low-Earth, lunar, and solar exploration, targeting lunar base construction by 2045.
The Korean AeroSpace Administration already launched Danuri, its first lunar probe, which reached lunar orbit in 2022, and is set to test technologies for future missions.
