Hankuk Fiber, a local company in Miryang City, Gyeongsangnam-do, has contributed to the launch of the Nuri rocket, following the Naro rocket, based on its robust technical capabilities.
Among the various companies that participated in the development of the 'Nuri rocket' launched on the 21st, Hankuk Fiber, the nation's top composite material specialist, was responsible for manufacturing core components of the Nuri rocket, including the payload fairing and composite structures (fuselage).
The main composite structures of the Nuri rocket consist of the payload fairing, which protects the satellite payload, the 2nd stage forward structure, and the 1st stage forward structure. Composite materials were used to construct these structures to reduce their weight.
The payload fairing is a core structure located at the very top of the launch vehicle, protecting the internal satellite payload from the heat, pressure, and noise generated during launch.
Hankuk Fiber is a specialist company that successfully developed the payload fairing during the launch of the Naro rocket in 2013, demonstrating its established technology.
The 2nd and 1st stage forward structures are also designed to be lightweight using composite materials while being able to withstand high loads. The development of these flight models was completed after several years of development and testing.
Hankuk Fiber has been involved in the satellite launch vehicle business for approximately 20 years, starting from the KSR-III, the first liquid-fueled launch vehicle in Korea, alongside the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), continuing through the Naro-ho and up to the Nuri-ho.
The Korean Space Launch Vehicle, 'Nuri (KSLV-II),' built solely with domestic technology, was launched on the 21st.
The liquid rocket satellite launch vehicle technology is the culmination of about eight years of effort by domestic research institutes and companies following the launch of the Naro rocket in 2013.
