South Korea sets 2030 moon landing bid with public-private small lander
South Korea aims to secure a 3 percent share of the global aerospace market by 2035 by building a Korean low-Earth-orbit satellite communications network, developing a public-private lunar lander and advancing reusable launch vehicles. The government plans to bring forward its first lunar landing to 2030 by launching a small lunar lander jointly developed with private companies. It also plans to expand policy from R&D to demand creation and broaden support to materials, parts, equipment and satellite data use.
