Defence Current Affairs 25 May 2023Â
South Korea Conducted Satellite Launch
- South Korea launched its first commercial-grade satellite Wednesday as rival North Korea pushed plans forward to place its first military spy satellite into orbit. The South Korean satellite will be launched by a domestically made rocket under the country’s space development program.
- Seoul officials say its launch has no military purpose, but many experts say it will eventually help South Korea acquire the technologies and know-how required to operate military surveillance satellites and build more powerful missiles.
- The Nuri space launch vehicle was scheduled to lift off early Wednesday evening from a launch facility on a southern South Korean Island, if no unexpected weather or other problems occur at the last minute, according to the Science Ministry.
- Aboard the rocket are the main satellite, called “Next Generation Small Satellite 2,” and seven other smaller, cube-shaped satellites. The main one is tasked with verifying imaging radar technology and observing cosmic radiation in near-Earth orbit, a ministry statement said.
