Korea Bets on Satellites in Space Race
South Korea will launch two advanced satellites equipped with high-resolution cameras in 2008 and 2009.
The Arirang II will have a high-resolution camera with a 1-meter resolution. In an emergency, Arirang II can descend to an altitude of 150 kilometers, increasing its resolution to 25 centimeters.
The Arirang V will use an even more advanced synthetic aperture radar.
