Comment on Outrage at Korea “Stealing Japanese Rocket” by Anonymous:

The relation between Astrium and KARI is that Astrium designs the thing in Toulouse and then KARI assembles and tests it in Daejeon. That’s what happened with the previous one, which was launched on an Ariane, and although it’s possible that the Koreans might have been able to assemble the parts that didn’t change again by themselves, the crown jewel of the satellite, it’s optical instrument, was designed again by Astrium.
‘Domestic’ in this context means that Korea provided the money and some of the manual labour.
