Satrec Initiative, a South Korean Earth‑observation company, has announced that it is working with its parent company Hanwha Aerospace to produce a series of optical imaging satellites.
Technical details
The new spacecraft are designed to achieve a ground resolution of about ten centimeters in the visible and near‑infrared bands.
They will complement the synthetic‑aperture‑radar (SAR) constellation that Hanwha Aerospace unveiled in July, adding high‑resolution visual data to the radar‑based imagery.
According to the companies, the optical satellites will be integrated into the Hanwha constellation to provide timely, detailed Earth‑observation services for commercial and government customers.
