Spire Global has announced an agreement with HANCOM InSpace – initially a spin-off by Korea Aerospace Research Institute and now a part of HANCOM Group – for Sejong-2 and Sejong-3 two additional satellites with Spire Space Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under this agreement, Spire will build and operate the satellites, expanding the capabilities of HANCOM-1 (Sejong-1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together, these satellites will form a constellation for Korea\u2019s first three-satellite remote sensing image data service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sejong-1, a Spire satellite carrying an optical payload for Hancom, launched in May 2022 as the first commercial satellite deployed for a private South Korean company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Collaborating with Hancom Group on the expansion of their satellite constellation is a testament to the innovative spirit driving advancements in the South Korean space industry,\u201d said Frank Frulio, General Manager of Space Services, Spire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Myungjin Choi, CEO of HANCOM InSpace, said: \u201cCollaborating with Spire Global underscores our commitment to advancing the capabilities of our satellite constellation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sejong-2 will serve as an extension of Sejong-1, focusing on maritime, agricultural monitoring and change detection, especially in urban areas, while Sejong-3, equipped with a hyperspectral imager, will leverage its spectral range advantages for applications such as calculating wildfire damage area, analyzing air pollution levels and assessing river water quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the integration of images from our own multispectral and hyperspectral imagers, Drones and high-performance ground cameras, we are poised to expand our image utilization portfolio even further,\u201d said Dr Choi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
