About
KOMPSAT-2 is a Korean Multi-purpose satellite that launched in July 2006 with its main mission to obtain high resolution imaging for the cartography of Korea peninsula, for the production of maps and digital elevation models (DEM). Its system consists of a multi-spectral camera with a high spatial resolution imaging sensor which collects visible imagery of the earth's surface during daylight. As of 2015, the mission was not extended but instead, the satellite is used for research purposes until the end of its life cycle.
The KOMPSAT-2 multi-spectral payload incorporates a single nadir looking telescope, collecting panchromatic and multi-spectral mesoscopic imagery.
