General / Launch Complex Unknown Chronology 1993 June 4 - Launch Vehicle: KSR. KSR-I-1 Ozone profile mission Agency: KARI. 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 - Launch Vehicle: KSR. KSR-I-2 Ozone profile mission Agency: KARI. 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 - Launch Vehicle: KSR. KSR-II-1 X-ray astronomy / ionosphere mission Agency: KARI. Apogee: 150 km (90 mi). Measured the vertical distribution of ozone using an ultraviolet radiometer. 1998 June 11 - 01:00 GMT - Launch Vehicle: KSR. KSR-II-2 X-ray astronomy / ionosphere mission Agency: KARI. Apogee: 137 km (85 mi). Measured the vertical distribution of ozone using an ultraviolet radiometer. 2002 November 28 - 05:52 GMT - Launch Vehicle: KSR. LV Model: KSR-III . KSR-I-1 KSR-III Launch Vehicle Technology Test / Aeronomy mission Agency: KARI. 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. Contact us with any corrections, additions, or comments.
