South Korea to launch seven SEED projects to foster SMRs, quantum and space

South Korea will 추진 a “seven SEED projects” initiative to nurture future growth engines including small modular reactors, nuclear fusion, quantum and space and aviation, following its three mega projects in semiconductors, physical AI and AI data centres. The plan targets preemptive 확보 of advanced technologies over the next 10 to 20 years, with goals around 2030 to 2035. It groups projects into clean energy, next-generation frontier and advanced supply chains, and includes 10 trillion won for supply-chain R&D by 2030.

Low-earth-orbit satellite communications: How to use them in the space internet era

Low-earth-orbit satellite communications aim to extend network coverage to areas beyond terrestrial infrastructure, including mountains, islands, open seas and the sky. Unlike geostationary satellites at about 36,000 km altitude, low-earth-orbit satellites operate at about 200 to 2,000 km, reducing latency but requiring large constellations. South Korea has approved cross-border supply deals involving Starlink and Eutelsat OneWeb. The government targets an independent network by 2035 and plans a 300 billion won R&D programme by 2030.
