KOMPSAT (EO)

Korean Multipurpose Satellite with Electro Optical Payload

Download KOMPSAT Brochure

Korean Multipurpose Satellite was developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) and is also called KOMPSAT. SI Imaging Services has been responsible for commercial distribution of KOMPSAT images worldwide since 2014.

There are currently KOMPSAT-2, 3, and 3A in terms of electro-optical satellites. They observe the earth about 15 times a day in low earth orbit and collect high-resolution image data used for public safety, national land and resource management, and disaster monitoring.

In 2024, as a follow-up program to KOMPSAT-3 and 3A, 0.3M class KOMPSAT-7 and 7A will be launched, equipped with ultra high resolution optical and infrared sensors.

Applications

Our ultra-high resolution optical imagery and SAR imagery are used in remote sensing,
earth observation missions, and various industries around the world.
