Prospects on Space Development in Korea
DR. CHOI, Joon-min
Korea Aerospace Research Institute
Dr. CHOI, Joon-Min graduated Seoul National University in Aeronautical Engineering. Master degree in the same area at University of Washington and PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M, he served as one of the key space technology researchers at KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) since 2003. After positions as head of satellite basic technology group and thermal/propulsion group, he directed satellite test division, before becoming project strategy division director. Since 2011, Dr. Choi is Executive Director of KARI, responsible for System R&D, SBAS programme and recently he works as Executive Director of Technology R&D Head Office. Dr. Choi received Korean President Award for his excellent work in 2007.
Small Satellites in support of next generation applications start-ups
MR. CLARK, Craig
Clyde Space Ltd. / AAC Microtec
Craig has a BEng in Electrical Power Engineering from the University of Glasgow and an MSc in Satellite Engineering from the University of Surrey. After 11 years at a major space company in SE England, Craig returned to Glasgow and founded Clyde Space Ltd. Clyde Space launched Scotland's first satellite in 2014 and has established itself as one of the most successful suppliers of small satellites in the world. In January 2018, Clyde Space merged with Swedish listed company AAC Microtec, and the combined company continues to grow and develop cutting-edge products for the small satellite market, in particular in the area of tiny satellites called 'CubeSats'. Presently, the company has over 130 highly skilled staff. In June 2013, Craig was awarded an MBE in the Queen's birthday Honours list for his services to Innovation and Technology and in 2017, the company won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation Category.
