ØAbstract
  
  
The first Korean rocket, Ju-haw(running fire)  was  manufactured  by  Muson  Chai.  Ju-haw
between 1377 and 1380. Ju-hwa was developed into 4 kind  of  Sin-gi-geon:  Small,  Medium,
Large and Fire-scattering until 1448. length of Large  sin-gi-jeon  is  5.5m  and  its  range  is
about 700~800m. It is the largest  paper-propellant  case  rocket  in  the  world.  Its  drawing
and detail  manufacturing  description  in  Kuk-cho-ore-sorye  which  book  was  compiled  in
1474. Sin-gi-jeons blueprint is the oldest rocket blueprint which was used  for  reconstruction.
The first modern sounding  rocket,  IITO-1A  was  developed  by  IIT(Inha Institute of Tech.)  in
1959. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) was established in 1989. The first National
Space Development Plan which includes Korea Sounding Rocket(KSR) and Korea Space Launch
Vehicle(KSLV) program was made in 1996. KARI began in 1990 to research and develops its own
sounding rocket program. KARI launched its first single-stage solid propellant  sounding  rocket,
KSR-I, in 1993. KSR-II was launched in 1997 and 1998 as two-stage solid propellant  sounding
rocket with a 150kg scientific payload  and 150km apogee. KARI  embarked  on  its  first  liquid
propellant sounding rocket project in December 1997. KARI successfully launched KSR-III which
reached an altitude of 42.7km and flew over 84km for 231.44 seconds on November  28,  2002.
Korea plan to develop a satellite launch vehicle, KSLV-1, capable of putting  a  100kg  payload
into orbit by September 2009 from  Naro  spaceport. The  first  korean  Space  Launch  Vehicle,
Naro-1 was fired on 25 Aug. 2009 from Naro Space Center.
