LIG Nex1 said on the 16th that it held a completion ceremony for a satellite and laser systems assembly building at Daejeon House.
The satellite and laser systems assembly building, completed with an investment of a little over 100 billion won, is equipped with facilities such as clean rooms, temperature- and humidity-controlled rooms, and the nation's first horizontal near-field chamber.
It can assemble and test payloads for the geostationary public multifunctional communications satellite, Cheollian 5, and Arirang 8, as well as various national and defense satellites, and assemble and test ultra high-output laser weapons systems.
The satellite and laser systems assembly building also includes an advanced satellite imagery utilization room, which will be responsible for building acquisition imagery databases for satellite information use and managing utilization services.
Shin Ik-hyeon of LIG Nex1 said, "All products born in the satellite and laser systems assembly building embody our engineers' passion, craftsmanship, and a sense of mission for national security," adding, "Based on this facility, we will usher in a full-fledged mass-production era for satellite and laser systems with world-class reliability and quality."
