Would you believe if you could see what color and model my car is in space?

An artificial satellite that observes the Earth from outside the Earth,
We will inform you of all the information you are curious about about National Land Satellite No. 1 now!

On March 3nd (Mon) at 22:15, 'Land Satellite (Next Generation Medium-sized Satellite No. 7)'
It was successfully launched from the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan.
About 64 minutes after launch, it was normally separated at an altitude of about 484 km,
About 102 minutes after launch, it was contacted with the ground station Svalbard, Norway.
The first contact was also successful.

The next-generation mid-sized satellite development project is being promoted in stages 1 and 2.
The first step is to independently develop two medium-sized satellites for precision ground observation.
500kg standard satellite standard body (platform) is secured,
Phase 2 uses the 1kg standard platform technology secured by the Phase 500 project.
This is a business that localizes and develops three medium-sized satellites.

Homeland Satellite, how great is it?

The Land Satellite was launched in March 2015 with Multi-Purpose Satellite 3A and
It maintains similar performance, but the weight is half of the existing 1,100kg.
Lightweight (about 540kg), and most of the core components
We succeeded in localization and achieved a whopping 98.6% localization rate.
In terms of remarkably improving the part that had high dependence abroad
It is highly regarded!

Korea’s successful launch of the land satellite
We have succeeded in making a leap into the era of satellite use.
The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs,
By providing converged output, the National Territory Satellite manages national territory and resources, responds to disasters and disasters, etc.
It is planned to be used in a variety of public and private service fields.

In addition, the precision ground observation images obtained through satellite
To build a digital twin homeland, the core task of the Korean version of the New Deal.
Used as basic data, smart city, autonomous driving, drones, etc.
Various convergence industries such as support for new industries and provision of disaster safety services
It is expected to contribute greatly to the creation.

National Land Satellite 1, the first signal of the era of satellite utilization beyond the era of satellite development,
We look forward to using high-quality satellite information in earnest.
