KAIST President Bae Choong-sik pledges to do his utmost to expand satellite institute staff for Nuri's fifth-launch satellite development

[Financial News] Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) President Bae Choong-sik said, "I will do my utmost to expand the staff at KAIST's Satellite Research Institute." The institute developed NeonSat, the primary payload satellite for Nuri's fifth launch, which succeeded this month.
At a parliamentary audit held at KAIST's main campus in Daejeon on the 20th, President Bae responded after Rep. Hwang Jeong-a of the Democratic Party of Korea pointed out that "the number of full-time employees at KAIST's Satellite Research Institute has remained at 17 for 20 years."
Rep. Hwang urged the institute to come up with a plan to increase its staff, saying, "The KAIST Satellite Research Institute is carrying out highly important and challenging projects in the national space sector, including the active-control phase project known as the Woori-byul recovery project."
President Bae said, "The KAIST Satellite Research Institute has very limited space, and its full-time staff numbers in the teens," adding, "I will do my utmost [to expand the staff]."
