South Korean launch vehicle, consisting of a downgraded Russian Angara first stage, a South Korean liquid propellant second stage, and a South Korean solid propellant apogee kick motor. Scheduled for first flight by 2015. In August 2006 the Korean press reported that the first and second stages would both be Angara-UM modules… how this configuration would work (stacked versus parallel) was unclear.

AKA: Korea Space Launch Vehicle-III. Status: In development. Payload: 1,500 kg (3,300 lb). Thrust: 1,910.00 kN (429,380 lbf). Gross mass: 145,000 kg (319,000 lb). Height: 35.00 m (114.00 ft). Diameter: 3.90 m (12.70 ft). Apogee: 800 km (490 mi).

The originally-planned second stage would logically be a repackaged version of the liquid oxygen/kerosene stage tested on the KSR-III in 2002 and originally intended to power the completely-indigenous original version of the KSR-I launch vehicle.

LEO Payload: 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) to a 800 km orbit at 97.00 degrees.
