JAKARTA The South Korean Space Agency (KASA) confirmed that the development of lunar landers did not experience any obstacles. Until now, landers are still planned to launch in 2032.

This statement was made on Friday, May 23, 2025, after Dong-A Science, a Korean science magazine, discussed the target launch of the KASA lunar lander. According to them, the development of the vehicle is experiencing problems until it is hampered.

KASA explained that they took the lunar lander seriously. The space agency also pays attention to the details of its core technology so that errors do not occur or failures occur when landing the vehicle on the Moon.

"We are in the process of seriously developing landers, focusing on developing core technology that is important for moon landings," KASA explained, quoted on Monday, May 26.

KASA reminded that the landing of rides on the Moon is not easy to do. There are many challenges that must be faced and the success rate is not great. Therefore, they need to be careful in developing their rides.

"We would like to inform that the lunar lander development project disclosed in October 2024 is proceeding as planned without a hitch," KASA explained. "We aim to secure the technology to land appropriately and safely on the lunar surface."

In addition to explaining the development of the lunar lander project, KASA also discussed the content to be carried. To date, KASA has not determined what cargo will be placed on the Moon because they are still focused on the core technology of the vehicle.

"The lunar lander development project began lander development during the initial feasibility study, then continued with the development of the content of science and technology missions as well as mobility technology," the agency said.
