The Russian-made KSLV-1 was the country's inaugural launch from the brand new Naro spaceport. Russia's Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center, which is providing the technology for the KSLV-1 project, is contracted for at least one more launch.
The Khrunichev center is responsible for developing the first-stage of the two-stage KSLV-1, which includes the rocket engine and the liquid-fuel propulsion system.
The KARI-built second-stage of the rocket is designed to hold and eject the satellite, using an ``explosive bolt'' technique whereby a set of bolts stitching the fairings with the rocket are ignited and blown apart.
KARI finished the process of inserting the payload satellite into the KSLV-1 second stage and attaching the fairings last week. The next step is to connect the top half of the rocket to the Russian-built first-stage, a process that will begin next Monday and be completed sometime near the end of the month.
