SEOUL, Sept. 28 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korea has decided to cancel plans to launch satellites using Russian rockets later this year amid the international community’s sanctions on Russia’s space program over the Ukrainian war, a government document showed Wednesday. The government had planned to launch the Korea Multipurpose Satellite 6, known as the Arirang [...]
DAEJEON, Sept. 23 (Korea Bizwire) — A research team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) said Thursday it had developed an innovative adhesive by mixing wine’s tannic acid with a biocompatible high polymer. Mixing a soluble high polymer with tannic acid generates a coacervate that is sticky like a jelly. The [...]
SEOUL, Sept. 5 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korea’s unmanned space vehicle Danuri has successfully undergone a trajectory correction maneuver (TCM), a critical procedure in the lunar orbiter’s travel to the moon for the country’s first lunar mission. Danuri, also known as the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter, was launched last month aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 [...]
