"The idea of launching our own satellites and our own launch vehicle was only a dream, but the advancement of science and technology has made it possible. It was made possible by the hard work of policymakers, scientists and officials from the space industry," the director general said.


"SAR is a technology that uses radio waves to recognize terrain features through signal, allowing for observations unaffected by light and clouds. Through the launch of the satellite, we will try to validate the technologies we have developed and obtain images of the Earth," Jang Tae-seong, an official from KAIST's Satellite Technology Research Center, said.
