ENERBEST is a specialist in the stability and environmental controls for the satellites equipped in the payload fairing of the Nuri Korean launch vehicle, and carries out development/production and launch operations for the movable thermostating unit (MTU) used for stability in man-made satellites. In addition, we produce and provide the MTU connector, a core component of the heat control/fire safety system, air exhaust, and launch craft interior temperature/humidity/pressure sensor block in the Nuri Korean launch craft.

Product Overview and Main Content
- With the arrival of the New Space Age, the importance of space defense is rapidly increasing, and along with this, the frequency of launches by a number of countries is increasing. In the case of the Korean launch craft Nuri, equipment imported from the United States was used for the movable thermostating unit, and apart from this the majority of satellites are launched from countries like the United States, Russia, and Brazil.
- To respond to this ENERBEST has worked with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute to collaboratively develop movable thermostating units for the stability of Nuri launch operations. An MTU is a piece of equipment that provides a stable temperature and humidity and Class 7 clean air to the payload fairing regardless of the launch environment and exterior environment, and it is currently being used for launches of the Korean launch craft Nuri 1, 2, and 3, being capable of exterior use despite the extreme conditions at Narodo.

Market Outlook
- In the case of the Nuri, which launched successfully in May 2023 carrying an application satellite, we supplied gas and controlled air quality to control the temperature, air cleanliness, and temperature of the satellite equipped in the payload fairing. Related to this, we have plans for several future rounds of application-level satellite launches for the Nuri (Nuri 4, 5, and 6). Considering the possibility of launches for Nuri 7–9, the next-generation launch craft planned for development by KARI, and launches for civilian companies like Perigee Aerospace and INNOSPACE, we anticipate demand for satellite operations services (stability and environmental controls).
