한국항공우주연구원
The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), established in 1989, is South Korea's national space agency responsible for aerospace research and development. KARI's primary activities include developing satellites (like the Arirang series), launch vehicles (such as the KSLV-2), and core technologies for aircraft. It also operates the Naro Space Center and collaborates with international partners like JAXA on space missions. KARI aims to advance South Korea's capabilities in space exploration, satellite technology, and aerospace engineering.
