South Korea's science ministry said Tuesday it will create a space policy-oriented think tank in a move to bolster its space development ambitions.

The country has recently ramped up its space programme, with its first homegrown space rocket set for a launch in October and a lunar orbiter programme scheduled for next year, Yonhap news agency reported.
