Now back home‚ work continues to develop a rocket that will blast off a satellite into space later this year.
Our Kim Bumsoo visited the Korea Aerospace Research Institute in Daejeon to check on how far the project has come.
It has been about 20 years since Korea began developing space technology‚ and this year is on track to be among the most important for Korea's aerospace program.
Next month‚ Korea's first astronaut is heading to outer space.
And in December‚ a Korea-made rocket will launch a new satellite for science and technology research.
[Interview : Lee Sanghyun‚ Senior researcher of KAIST] "Launching a satellite that we made in our land by a launch vehicle of our own is the slogan of the project. Only a number of nations in the world can produce a satellite in the 100-kilogram weight category."
[Reporter] "This is Korea's first satellite to be propelled by a homegrown satellite launching rocket. If launching is successful in December‚ Korea would rank ninth in the world in the space technology race."
So far‚ only eight countries have succeeded in launching satellites using their own rockets.
Korea is not yet among them but is fast closing in on the ninth slot following Japan‚ India and Israel.
This satellite has gone through various tests simulating a space environment of extremely high or low temperatures and other experiments to see if the machine can endure vibrations when the rocket is launched.
The Korean-made launch rocket‚ KSLV-1‚ is still under construction at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute.
The moment right at launch is of particular concern requiring the last-second concentrating of explosive rocket fuel to cause the launch explosion.
[Interview : Park‚ Jungjoo‚ Principal researcher of Korea Aerospace Research Institute] "This works like putting two drums of fuel into one drum in one second to burn it out. This brings extreme energy and pressure and needs cutting-edge technology in welding and materials science."
The research institute says Korean space technology is currently at about a 70-percent level compared to nations with leading space programs.
[Interview : Paik Hongyul‚ President of Korea Aerospace Research Institute] "Beyond that‚ recently last year the government set up a plan to send a lunar expedition by 2020 and a landing craft on the moon's surface by 2025."
Korea's space researchers aim to bring their nation to seventh in space technology during the administration of Lee Myungbak‚ which ends in five years.
