The next domestic spy satellite launched from the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, according to South Korea’s defence ministry, and it is now in orbit.
The build, which comes after Seoul’s first detective telescope was put into orbit from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base in December, was livestreamed on social media platforms X and YouTube.
The department said in a statement that the Falcon 9 rocket was launched at 23 :17 GMT on Sunday, and the telescope was able to leave the launch vehicle 45 days later and set foot in orbit.
About two days and forty minutes after the launch, the government continued,” It had powerful contacts with a floor station.”
