More Effective Space and Moon Exploration | UEL

The Unmanned Exploration Laboratory (UEL) focuses on designing rovers with distinctive features such as folding wheels. These rovers have the benefits of being easy to mount on a lander by reducing their volume, mitigating the shock when the rover lands on the moon, and being advantageous for driving in rough terrain.

UEL has been consistently active as a family company of KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) and is collaborating with various government-funded research institutes, such as the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute and the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources. Moreover, through MOUs with Hanwha Systems and joint research with Kolon Industries, they are laying the groundwork to participate in the 2032 Korea Lunar Lander Project.

Also, UEL is developing various technologies for more effective space and moon exploration. They are developing foundational technologies that enable rovers to perform missions smoothly on the lunar surface by allowing the rovers to collect data autonomously, such as terrain data acquisition using stereo vision and rover positioning technology without GPS.

UEL has a 2.5m*6m artificial lunar regolith rover driving testbed at its Ansan factory. UEL received raw materials for artificial lunar regolith (KOHLS-1) from Hanyang University's International Space Exploration Research Center, directly produced the artificial lunar regolith, and built the testbed. They are conducting driving experiments with lunar exploration rovers on this testbed to find and address areas for improvement.
