[2] Based on the various data sent back by the lunar probe Danuri, which has been on a mission since 2022, a map of the moon were created.

Danuri and the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute also exchanged messages through the space internet payload.

[7] KITSAT-2 was independently designed and manufactured with a total investment of 2.8 billion won, and its main purpose was to photograph the Korean Peninsula and conduct various experiments.

[5] KITSAT-3 was developed by the KAIST Satellite Center with 8 billion won in support from the Ministry of Science and Technology and other sources from April 1994, from design to parts manufacturing and assembly, and was launched in May 1999.

[8] The satellite was equipped with solar panels that could supply its own electricity and a charge-coupled device camera that could take pictures of objects on the ground as large as 15 meters.

[9] The country felt the need for a practical communications satellite and launched the Koreasat 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in August 1995.

[22] After the Korea Aerospace Research Institute was established in October 1989, efforts to secure Korean launch vehicle technology began in earnest.

[24] From 1993 to 1998, 5.2 billion won was invested to develop the KSR-2, a medium-sized scientific rocket with a two-stage solid engine, with the goal of measuring the ionosphere and ozone layer 150 km above the Peninsula.

About 150 private companies, including Korean Air, Hanwha, Korea Fiber, and Doowon Heavy Industries, participated in the Naro development project and were responsible for on-site technologies such as parts design and production, ground and launch facility production, and launch vehicle assembly.

[27] The goal of the Nuri development project was to build a launch vehicle that could place a 1.5-ton practical satellite into low Earth orbit (600–800 km).

The launch pad is located at the Naro Space Center in Goheung, South Jeolla Province, and was built by Hyundai Heavy Industries from 2016 to 2021.

In August 2022, Danuri was launched with the primary goal of lunar observation, and is equipped with a high-resolution camera from KARI, a wide-field polarimetric camera from the KASI, a magnetic field meter from Kyung Hee University, a gamma-ray spectrometer from the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources, and a space internet from the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute.

[31] As of August 2023, one year after its launch, Danuri's total flight distance was 38.01 million km, and it sent 2,576 high-resolution photos of the moon to Earth.
