S. Korea’s first military spy satellite transmits photos of Pyongyang, central area ‘clearly visible’

This follows its launch into orbit from California in Dec last year

SEOUL – South Korea’s first military spy satellite has successfully transmitted high-resolution images of central Pyongyang back home following its launch in December. 

The first indigenous South Korean military spy satellite was placed into orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on December 2 last year, enabling South Korea to independently acquire satellite imagery of North Korean military installations and leadership. 

According to military sources cited by Yonhap news agency, the electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) satellite has been transmitting satellite images of North Korean regions, including Pyongyang as part of a test transmission. 

“Based on the recently transmitted satellite photos, the resolution meets expectations. Pyongyang’s central area and vessels at a port are clearly visible in the photos,” the source said. 

Although the current images being transmitted require significant editing, the satellite is anticipated to relay higher-resolution images starting next month, other sources added. 

Once the indigenous satellite enters its full mission phase, it is poised to reduce South Korea’s heavy reliance on United States satellite imagery of North Korea, thus enhancing Seoul’s independent monitoring capabilities. 

By 2025, South Korea aims to launch four additional satellites into space to enhance its surveillance of North Korea, including the second synthetic aperture radar satellite scheduled for launch in April from an air force base in Florida. – March 3, 2024
