South Korea Plans US-Based Launch of Earth Observation Satellite in July
(MENAFN) South Korea is preparing to send an Earth-observing satellite into orbit from the United States in July, according to reports citing the country’s space agency.
The next-generation medium satellite No. 4 is scheduled to be launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, as reported by Korean news agency.
The satellite is designed to support agricultural monitoring and forest resource observation, expanding South Korea’s remote-sensing capabilities.
It is expected to be transported to the launch site starting next month ahead of final preparations for launch.
The mission marks the fourth satellite in a series developed under a South Korea-led program aimed at standardizing a flexible 500-kilogram Earth-observation platform used for multiple environmental and resource-management applications.
