KAIST

KAIST is a national science and technology research university whose Department of Aerospace Engineering offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral education in aircraft, unmanned systems, satellites, launch vehicles, flight dynamics, and propulsion, alongside graduate Space Exploration Engineering programmes. KAIST's Satellite Technology Research Center developed Uribyol-1 (우리별 1호) through a satellite-development and specialist-training collaboration with the University of Surrey. Launched in 1992, the satellite carried experiments in Earth imaging, communications and space-radiation measurement, establishing a concrete foundation for the university's satellite-engineering work.
