Programme description
Series of 5 satellites for land observation. Original name: “Arirang”, a Korean folk song.
Korean programme: KARI responsible of development and operations.
The platforms are actively stabilised over 3 axes.
The design life time isinitially 3 years, increased to 4 years (KOMPSAT-3) and 5 years (KOMPSAT-5).
The satellites fly sunsynchronous orbits around 11:00 or 13:30 or 6:00 depending on the instrumentation.
The replacement policy is based on launching satellites in sequence, roughly 6 months before the expected end-of-life of a satellite.
