| Abstract |
The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) acting as a Space Agency, a Research Institute and a data provider, has built and also operates the KOMPSAT (KOrea Multi Purpose SAtellite) series. KARI is also the main archive of KOMPSAT-1 data.
KOMPSAT-1, the KOrea Multi Purpose SAtellite, flies in a low earth, sun-synchronous circular polar orbit at an altitude of 685 km. The inclination is 98.13 deg. and the orbital period is 98.46 min. KOMPSAT-1 passes at 10:50 AM (UTC) at an ascending node and has a revisit time of 28 days.
KOMPSAT-1 is equipped with the high resolution Earth Observing Camera (EOC). The EOC collects panchromatic imagery (spectral region of 510 - 730 nm) with a ground sample distance (GSD) at nadir of 6.6 m and a swath width of 17 km by pushbroom scanning. The KOMPSAT-1 bus features a cross-track pointing capability (body pointing) of up to +/- 45 deg, thereby extending the field for imagery collection. The EOC has a CCD with 2592 pixels, uses a data quantization of 8 bits, and reveals a SNR of >50 over the entire FOV. The capacity of the on-board storage is sufficient for scenes up to approx. 800 km in length. The EOC is capable of producing images for cartographic purpose in a scale of 1:25.000.
Data is collected world-wide, with major mission objective on the cartographic mapping of the Korean Peninsula. However, no data showing the Korean Peninsula will be made available to the public.
