But this journey did not begin in 2024. For more than two decades, Youngil Park, Managing Director (Research Director) of the Rocket Propulsion R&D Center at INNOSPACE, Principal Researcher WOOTAE CHEON, and a dedicated team of researchers have believed in the potential of methane propulsion. 👨‍🔬 Today's methane engine represents far more than engineering drawings and test results. It is the result of decades of accumulated expertise, countless rounds of testing and validation, and the dedication of the engineers behind its development. And the journey continues—beyond LiMEK-04 and LiMER-3, toward the next generation of methane propulsion systems. ✨ #MethaneEngine #RocketEngine #ResearchAndDevelopment #Engineering #HotFireTest #Propulsion #TechnologyHeritage
