FIBERPRO’s cutting-edge fiber optic gyroscopes have played a pivotal role in the successful deployment of Korea’s indigenous Korean Space launch Vehicle-II (KSLV-II), known as Nuriho. This achievement marks a meaningful milestone,as the vehicle successfully placed a commercial-grade satellite into its designated orbit during its third launch.
These gyroscopes, featuring advanced fiber optic inertial sensors, deliver extraordinary performance and are highly resistant to electromagnetic interference.They are essential for the attitude control and navigation of satellites.
Designed to tackle the specific challenges posed by the space environment, FIBERPRO has incorporated radiation resistance and refined signal processing methods to ensure reliable performance, even amidst prolonged variations in optical signals.
Transforming Korea’s Aerospace Landscape
FIBERPRO’s gyroscopic technology gained recognition following its successful submission in the “Next-Generation Small Satellite 1” mission in December 2018, which confirmed its effectiveness in space. Additionally, in 2022, FIBERPRO provided critical components for the guidance control and electronic systems of KSLV-II Nuriho, reinforcing its status within Korea’s aerospace industry.
Chosen as a key developer and supplier of gyroscopes for commercial satellites, FIBERPRO’s expertise lead to its involvement in the “Space Pioneer” initiative, aimed at advancing Korea’s space technology and nurturing a sustainable aerospace ecosystem.
As part of this initiative, FIBERPRO has engineered commercial-grade satellite gyroscopes that utilize light interference through fiber optics to accurately measure rotational speed. This innovation guarantees stability and precision in the challenging conditions of space, broadening the scope of satellite operations.
The contributions of FIBERPRO’s commercial-grade satellite gyroscopes were instrumental in the successful launch of Nuriho’s third mission in 2023, as well as their integration into the “Next-Generation Small Satellite 2” mission. These achievements underscore the ongoing significance and influence of FIBERPRO’s technology in satellite operations.
Looking ahead, FIBERPRO is dedicated to enhancing Korea’s aerospace sector through continuous research and development. With a strong commitment to innovation, FIBERPRO is well-positioned to influence the future of Korea’s space exploration and satellite initiatives.
