Anhueng Chronology and Launch Log
  • 1993 June 4 - Ozone profile mission Launch Vehicle: KSR-I. KSR-I KSR-I-1 Apogee: 39 km (24 mi). Ultraviolet radiometer to measure vertical ozone distribution in the stratosphere over the Korean peninsula. Rocket performance also monitored.

  • 1993 September 1 - Ozone profile mission Launch Vehicle: KSR-I. KSR-I KSR-I-2 Apogee: 49 km (30 mi). Ultraviolet radiometer to measure vertical ozone distribution in the stratosphere over the Korean peninsula. Rocket performance also monitored.

  • 1997 July 9 - X-ray Astronomy/Ionosphere mission Launch Vehicle: KSR-II. KSR-II KSR-II-1 Apogee: 150 km (90 mi). Measured the vertical distribution of ozone using an ultraviolet radiometer.

  • 1998 June 11 01:00 - X-ray Astronomy/Ionosphere mission Launch Vehicle: KSR-II. KSR-II KSR-II-2 Apogee: 137 km (85 mi). Measured the vertical distribution of ozone using an ultraviolet radiometer.

  • 2002 November 28 05:52 - KSR-III Launch Vehicle Technology Test / Aeronomy mission Launch Vehicle: KSR-III. KSR-III KSR-I-1 Apogee: 43 km (26 mi). The rocket reached 42 km altitude and a speed of 902 meters per second. It impacted in the West Sea 85 km from the coastal launch site, 231 seconds after launch. In preparation for the launch, KARI and related agencies successfully carried out ignition tests in May and August.
