KAIST卫星研究所于1999年在韩国发射了3枚星空，其地面分辨率为13米，并搭载了彩色地球观测摄像机，引起了全世界的关注。

2003年9月，它发射了韩国第一颗天文空间观测卫星“科技卫星1号”，以发挥国内空间发展领域的多样化作用。科技卫星1号的空间观测结果在国际学术期刊上发表，再次证明了小型卫星的效用。

2007年完成研制的“科技卫星2号”搭载了无线电测光仪和激光反射镜。2009年8月和2010年6月，韩国首次运载火箭“罗老号”发射了两次，目标是发射我国卫星，但不幸的是，第一次和第二次发射均未能进入轨道。

罗老科学卫星随后被开发为罗老号第三次发射的卫星，2013年1月30日，罗老号在第三次发射成功后，罗老科学卫星也成功入轨。当年11月21日，一颗科技卫星3号从俄罗斯发射升空，并安全进入轨道，目前卫星研究所正在运行罗老科学卫星和科学技术卫星3号。“我们还在加速开发新一代小型卫星，以开发标准化、模块化和低功耗的小型卫星。

卫星研究所以“对空间的无穷挑战和开拓”的精神，通过研究开发先进小型卫星，履行空间探索任务，继续发挥空间开发人才培养的专门机构作用，通过卫星和空间利用研究为国家创造价值做出贡献。

In 1999, South Korea launched three stars with a ground resolution of 13 meters and a color earth observation camera, which attracted worldwide attention.

In September 2003, it launched Sisputnik-1, Korea's first astronomical space observation satellite, to play a diversified role in the field of domestic space development. The space observations of Sputsat-1 were published in international academic journals, once again proving the utility of small satellites.

The "Science and Technology Satellite 2", which was completed in 2007, is equipped with a radio light meter and a laser mirror. In August 2009 and June 2010, South Korea's first launch vehicle, the Lo Lao, was launched twice, with the goal of launching our satellites, but unfortunately, neither the first nor the second launch failed to enter orbit.

The Luo Lao Scientific Satellite was subsequently developed as the third launch of the Luo Lao Scientific Satellite, and on January 30, 2013, after the third successful launch of the Luo Lao Scientific Satellite, the Luo Lao Scientific Satellite was also successfully put into orbit. On November 21 of that year, a science and technology satellite No. 3 was launched from Russia and safely entered orbit, and the Satellite Research Institute is currently operating the Luo Lao scientific satellite and the science and technology satellite No. 3. "We are also accelerating the development of a new generation of small satellites to develop standardized, modular and low-power small satellites.

In the spirit of "endless challenges and development of space", the Satellite Research Institute continues to play its role as a specialized institution for the training of space development personnel through research and development of advanced small satellites, fulfills space exploration tasks, and contributes to the creation of value for the country through satellite and space utilization research.
