Seoul Expands Space-Based Monitoring For Farming And Forestry
Korea is set to launch its first agriculture-forestry satellite, which will monitor farmland and forests across the Korean Peninsula every three days. The satellite, developed by the Korea AeroSpace Administration, the Rural Development Administration, and the Korea Forest Service, will be used for subsidy checks, farmland surveys, and crop supply management. The launch, scheduled for Sunday, will be carried out by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launch vehicle. This development was first reported by Seoul Economic Daily.
