Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite
The Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT) is a series of Earth observation satellites developed by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). These satellites are designed to monitor the environment, agriculture, and urban development, providing valuable data for various applications. The first satellite in the series, KOMPSAT-1, was launched in 1999, and subsequent versions have improved capabilities and resolutions.
KOMPSAT satellites utilize advanced imaging technology to capture high-resolution images of the Earth's surface. They play a crucial role in disaster management, land use planning, and resource monitoring. The data collected supports both governmental and commercial activities, contributing to sustainable development in South Korea and beyond.
