Scientific instruments would be supplied by Imperial College London, Birmingham University and the Mullard Space Science Laboratory.
President Lee Myung-bak praised what he called a "first step towards opening an era of space science in earnest".
It has a strong space science effort under way, with two orbiting satellites having already been launched to the Moon.
This additional investment is a signal to Esa and commercial companies that we are going to continue to support space science and technology.
"The Nasa programme is looking quite lop-sided at the moment" according to Professor Andrew Coates, the head of planetary science at UCL's Mullard Space Science Laboratory.
But the company that operates the orbiting camera, Malin Space Science Systems of San Diego, California, says that the white smudge looks like the craft's parachute.
I'm a science journalist and author of "Distant Wanderers: the Search for Planets Beyond the Solar System" who writes about over-the-horizon technology, primarily astronomy and space science.
He will be speaking about space flight, space exploration, space science and technology, environmental stewardship and educational awareness as it relates to seeing the Earth from Space.
ENGADGET: UrtheCast to stream live HD footage of Earth from ISS, like Stickam for space
The agency's Space Science Advisory Committee (SSAC) has been poring over the detail of the revised mission concepts, hearing the last-chance advocacy from the competing teams on Monday.
"This set of photos shows the diversity of things we've been seeing on Mars during the last several months, " said Michael Malin of Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego.
"Landing on Mars is very difficult, and it's harder on some parts of the planet than others, " says Dr Ed Weiler, associate administrator for space science at Nasa in Washington, DC.

Indeed, when James Hansen, of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Science, proclaimed in 1987 that "the warming has begun, " his colleagues, including many who took the threat seriously, declared his statement premature.
Ken Edgett with Malin Space Science Systems, which operates the camera for NASA, compared some of the newest Mars images for the group that gathered last week in Buffalo, New York, with those taken from 1976 to 1980 by the two Viking landers.
Even as NASA's budget has decreased by approximately 15 percent in constant dollars since 1993, we have made provision for several important new initiatives to maintain the delicate balance between human space flight, earth and space science, and advanced aeronautics and space transportation technology.

Clarke, visionaries like Carl Sagan and movies like "2001: A Space Odyssey, " he studied aerospace and industrial engineering at Ryerson University, then physics and astronomy at the University of Toronto, before moving to Cornell to study space science, where he became special assistant to Sagan.
From the scientific perspective, for the story to close for science, flight rates have to be high, said Alan Stern, chair of the scientific organizing committee for the conference and associate vice president of the Southwest Research Institute's Space Science and Engineering Division in Boulder.
Coming up on February 10, the Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute will show us what it looks like when a supernova that has spewed tons of debris into space sees that debris begin to hit the rings around the dying star.
As OMB previously indicated in our statement for the record for this Committee's May 6 hearing, if additional resources are warranted for Station development, the Administration intends to look first for offsets within NASA while protecting Administration priorities in space and earth science, advanced space transportation, and aviation safety research.

The laboratory designs all space shuttle science projects, and a technical site it is.
Over the years, the space-science programme has accumulated a grand array of visions, game-plans and mission statements.
ALH84001 hit the headlines, the space-science programme's funding seemed vulnerable to the insatiable demands of manned spaceflight.
In 2006, the first stage of the Space for Science involved 18 SEE research and higher education institutions.
Finally, I would simply add that the new partnership between our people spans the spectrum, from space to science to sports.
WHITEHOUSE: President Obama & President Medvedev Joint Press Conference | The White House
All three had concerns that the space agency science programs were losing out in the push to return humans to the moon.
Their goal was to attract the interest of specialised institutions in order to cooperate in further extension of the Space for Science.
Max Mutchler from the Space Telescope Science Institute says the astronomer who asked for the pictures was then too busy to look at them.
Mr. MAX MUTCHLER (Space Telescope Science Institute): About the middle of June, he gave it to me, and within a day, I discovered these two new moons.
