South Korea plans to launch two defense satellites using its indigenous Nuri rocket by 2028, a move to reduce dependency on foreign launch services and boost national security. The Nuri Heritage Project, with a budget of 157.8 billion won, aims to continue rocket launches from 2026 to 2028. This initiative seeks to minimize security risks associated with using overseas launch vehicles, ensure autonomous space capabilities, and develop a sustainable space industry ecosystem. The move intends to establish a competitive market for launching public satellites and support private industry participation in space launches.
