Korea’s Hanwha opens new complex to build Nuri space launcher and own vehicle

Hanwha Aerospace has inaugurated a new manufacturing facility in Suncheon, South Korea, dedicated to producing its domestically developed rocket. This facility will specifically assemble the three stages of the Nuri vehicle, which is slated for its sixth flight. Hanwha’s objective is to establish a strong position within the burgeoning private space market. The company anticipates commencing production at this complex by the end of the decade. This strategic investment underscores South Korea's growing ambitions in developing independent launch capabilities and contributing to the expanding global space industry.
