In April 2017, the government newly approved a national industrial complex specializing in the aerospace industry by dividing the areas of Jinju and Yonghyeon-myeon, Sacheon, South Gyeongsang Province, which are close to Korea Aerospace Industries, into the Jinju District and Sacheon District, each measuring exactly 828,999.[1]
In December 2022, the National Space Committee selected Jinju and Sacheon as a Satellite Specialized Zone, a cluster of private space-related companies.[2][3]
In March 2024, Jinju and Sacheon governmenet established the Smart Green Industrial Complex Basic Plan. Afterwards, the project executor, Korea Land & Housing Corporation, requested the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to designate it, and the ministry designated the National Aerospace Industrial Complex as a Smart Green Industrial Complex after consultation with relevant organizations and deliberation by the Industrial Location Policy Deliberation Committee.[4]
The development area has been partially modified, and the development period from 2017 to October 2024 was extended to June 2025.[5]
Sacheon District
This area is in Yongyeon-myeon, Sacheon City.
The Satellite Development Innovation Center is planned to be built here with a total project cost of 38.1 billion won, with 1 underground floor and 2 above-ground floors, and a total floor area of 5,900 m2.[6][7] It will serve as a hub that brings together all the infrastructure necessary for satellite-related research, manufacturing, and commercialization. It will also serve as a dedicated support center that supports the entire satellite industry, such as promoting startups, supporting companies, and training professional personnel.[2]
