It's time for ON-Point, where we speak to experts to delve deeper into some of the key issues in the spotlight right now.
South Korea is just a week away from launching the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter... also known as KPLO.
The craft will be launched from Cape Canaveral in the U.S. on August 3rd, with the help of NASA.
The mission was developed and managed by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, for a year-long orbit of the moon.
This year, with the second launch of Nuri, South Korea is taking bold but baby steps in the aerospace industry.
So what does this project signify and why does the country want to study the far side of the Moon?
For more we have, Kang Sung-Ju, Research Officer for Astronomy & Space Team at Gwacheon National Science Museum.
Good morning!
1. First, please let us know, because the launch is being carried out by NASA, but the project is Korean, to what extent has this mission been prepared and managed by KARI?
2. What can we learn from this mission? Why do we want to study the Moon?
3. How advanced is the technology behind KPLO when you compare it to other countries already established in the space industry?
4. We saw the successful launch of Nuri last month. When do you think South Korea can launch a satellite of its own into space?

Thank you for your insights. We hope to speak to you again soon!
