SIIS operates a fleet of electro-optical satellites in low Earth orbit, including KOMPSAT-2, KOMPSAT-3, and KOMPSAT-3A, which collectively orbit the Earth approximately 15 times each day. These satellites are equipped with high-resolution cameras that capture detailed imagery used for a variety of critical applications.
The high-resolution imagery is essential for public safety, national land and resource management, and disaster monitoring. It aids in planning and executing land development, agricultural monitoring, urban planning, and disaster recovery efforts. The satellites’ ability to provide rapid and detailed visual data supports emergency response and effective mitigation strategies during natural disasters and other crises.
