Also called the Korea Multipurpose Satellite tv for pc 7, the satellite tv for pc made contact with Russia’s Antarctic floor station at 3:30 a.m. (Korean time) after launching from the Guiana Area Centre in French Guiana aboard the Vega-C rocket operated by France-based Arianespace at 2:21 a.m. Tuesday, or 2:21 p.m. Monday (French Guiana time), in response to the Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA).
KASA mentioned it plans to announce the ultimate outcomes of the satellite tv for pc deployment later within the day.
Arirang 7, geared up with an ultra-high-resolution electro-optical digicam and an infrared sensor, is anticipated to supply high-quality imagery for environmental and catastrophe monitoring, and concrete warmth island evaluation.
