Department of Satellite Systems Engineering, Yonsei University
The Department of Satellite Systems Engineering at Yonsei University was established in September 2023, separating from its parent department, Astronomy and Space Science, and has been operational ever since. To date, it has successfully completed four CubeSat missions under its overall management and participated in two others. For 2025, it is developing three CubeSat missions. Two additional missions are planned for the 5th launch of Nuri in 2026.
The Department of Satellite Systems Engineering at Yonsei University is equipped with a full lifecycle system necessary for satellite development, encompassing mission design, satellite body design and manufacturing, and ground station operations. It also possesses a cleanroom for satellite manufacturing and an antenna ground station for direct communication.
It maintains partnerships with companies such as Hanwha Systems, LIG Nex1, KAI, NARA Space, AP Aerospace, and CONTEC.
