KARI TV, launched in 2016, has published a total of 657 videos over the past ten years. Its cumulative view count has reached 33.37 million.

KARI TV has released footage and photos directly obtained during the research and development process, including the launch of the Nuri rocket, photos of the Moon captured by Danuri, Korea’s first lunar orbiter, and flight tests of the high-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle EAV-4.

In addition to on-site research and development videos, KARI TV also produces content utilizing infographics and computer graphics (CG) to explain aerospace technologies and principles. Through self-produced documentaries, the channel has also shared stories of trial and error from the research and development process, as well as the experiences of the researchers themselves.

The fifth launch of the Nuri rocket, scheduled for October 7, will also be broadcast live on KARI TV. KARI will install cameras throughout the Naro Space Center to provide live coverage of the launch and plans to produce content introducing the researchers involved in launch preparations, as well as the companies, universities, and research institutes that developed the payload satellites.

Lee Sang-cheol, President of KARI, stated, “Our 100,000 subscribers are the result of the public’s interest and support for aerospace research and development in South Korea. We will continue to deliver the challenges and achievements of the research and development field—including the upcoming fifth launch of the Nuri rocket—as vividly and closely as possible.”
