Domestic Environment Changes

Launched the new Government - President Geun-hye Park was inaugurated as the 18th President

of the Republic of Korea in February 2013

- The president has emphasized the importance of science and

technology, especially the necessity to support the early

development of KSLV-II (Korea Space Launch Vehicle II) as well

as the implementation of the following lunar exploration

projects

- Government reorganization :

MEST (Ministry of Education, Science Technology)

=> MSIP (Ministry of Science, ICT and future Planning)
