South Korean artificial satellite: Original technology development is essential: US export control policy wall
Korean artificial satellite:
Korean type projectile (KSLV-2) Nuri.
The launch is scheduled for October this year.
But,
Unless US export control policies change
The launch of artificial satellites
The launch of the lunar module
It became clear that South Korea could not implement it.
Science and technology personnel:
On March 29, the United States said through ITAR that it would not permit the launch of artificial satellites and space exploration vessels equipped with US technology on Korean space rockets.
The reason is that “measures to prevent the spread of space rocket technology that can be converted to ICBM”.
Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR):
USA, Japan, France, etc.
“Eight countries that secured space rocket technology before the 1987 Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR)” are excluded.
Importance of artificial satellite technology and complete independence:
After all, the complete independence of South Korea’s artificial satellite technology must be prioritized.
further,
Even if South Korea can domestically produce its core technology
As long as the US export control policy is not relaxed,
Only the launch of domestic satellites can be done.
of course,
Unlike the US SpaceX and the Japanese H2 rocket, South Korea cannot provide launch services for launching overseas artificial satellites.
