Korea has successfully developed its first small satellite constellation, set to be launched on the Nuri rocket in October. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the country's satellite production capacity. The constellation will consist of 10 lightweight spacecraft, tasked with high-precision observation of the Korean Peninsula and surrounding waters.
Each satellite will be equipped with an electro-optical camera boasting a spatial resolution ranging from 1m to 4m. The development of these satellites is a result of a memorandum of understanding between K-water and the Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation. The completion of this project is a testament to Korea's growing prominence in the global space industrial sector.
