KSLV
South-Korea's first launch vehicle, lead by KARI.
The KSLV-1 is designed with the same structural elements as in an Angara first
stage, including its rocket engine. Its RD-151 rocket engine, developed by
Russia's NPO Energomash, is basically a derivative of the RD-191M engine that
will be used for the Angara 1.1, the first rocket in the Angara family. The
second stage and payload were designed and built in South Korea.
It has a mass of 140 tons, stands 33 meters tall and has a diameter of 3
meters.
