Among the US-Korea missile guidelines, restrictions that prevented the use of solid fuel in rockets have been lifted. Space development can become active and it is possible to launch independent low-orbit military reconnaissance satellites needed for security.

<Reporter> The

second security chief of the National Security Office of the Blue House, Kim Jong-jong, said the restrictions on the use of solid fuel in space launch vehicles were lifted yesterday (28th).

[Kim Hyun-jong/Chief of the Blue House National Security Office: The adoption of the 2020 revised missile guidelines completely lifts the restrictions on the use of solid fuel for space launch vehicles.]

The US-ROK missile guidelines, first adopted in 1979, have been based on the propulsion of spacecraft engines. Some restrictions have been placed.

So, in fact, we could only use liquid fuel, and this shackle was released.

[Kim Hyun-jong / Cheong Wa Dae National Security Office Chapter 2: We have this ability to shoot low-orbit military reconnaissance satellites with our own hands whenever and wherever needed.]

"As a solid fuel projectile developed by Korea until the mid-2020s, "If we launch multiple low-orbit military reconnaissance satellites, our intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities will dramatically increase."

The growth of the domestic space industry was also expected.

This is because, like other space-developed countries, the government and the private sector are free to use both liquid, solid, liquid and solid fusion fuels.

The revision of the US-ROK missile guidelines was the result of negotiations over the past nine months after President Moon Jae-in ordered the first revision in October last year, and there was no counter-offer to the United States, and Kim Jong-jong emphasized that it had nothing to do with negotiating defense contributions.
