The Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) announced that it has launched a preliminary feasibility study for the next-generation space launch vehicle, a successor to the Nuri rocket, with the plan to invest 1.93 trillion won (USD $1.53 billion) for nine years from 2023 to 2031.


This project will be conducted by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) jointly with a private enterprise from the initial phase to the final launch, which helps South Korea to acquire independent ability to develop a powerful launch vehicle.

MSIT is targeting to send a lunar landing module to the moon using the next-generation space launch vehicle to verify the vehicle’s capacity and the following first official mission, sending the actual lunar lander, is expected in 2031.
