| PROJECT INFORMATION | The Korea Aerospace Research Institute will begin testing of the KARI KSR-3 Rockets for official testing. The goal of the rockets is to carry the Arirrang-2 Multipurpose Satellite. The project will cover the costs of eight Kari KSR-3 Carrier Rockets (15,375,000.00) and two Arirang-2 Satellite (234,800,171.03). The total cost for production of the ten items is $592,600,342.06. KARI will conduct testing for the rockets with the Arirang-2 Satellite model completed and ready for launch. The KARI KSR-3 Rockets will be if successful the beginning stage of creation of a rocket dedicated and capable of carrying the Arirang-2. The KSR-3 is a liquid sounding rocket. The KSR-3 can reach an altitude of 42.7 km (26.5 mi) and flying over 84 km (52 mi) Specifications of the KSR-3 Payload: 150 kg Apogee: 42.7 km Range: 79 km Thrust: 13 t Weight: 6.1 t Diameter: 0.42 m Length: 13.5 m Burn time: 53 sec Arirang-2 operates in a near-polar, circular Sun-synchronous orbit. Mean altitude: 685 km Mass: 765 kg Inclination: 98.0° (Sun-synchronous orbit) Orbital period: 98.5 minutes Orbital cycle: 28 days Arirang-2's instruments are designed to acquire high- and very-high-resolution imagery with a footprint of 15 km.
