JAKARTA - Not long ago, the National Space Committee was held in South Korea to discuss the future of technology and science. The meeting was attended by a council that played an important role in the space sector.
The event was also attended by the South Korean Space Agency (KASA) which revealed several exploration strategies and project improvements, one of which is the development of the Cheollian 5 satellite which will be placed in geostationary orbit.
Cheollian 5 is the first geostationary satellite project developed for domestic needs. The satellite will be developed by a private company, according to KASA Administrator Yoon Young-bin.
The project is being auctioned off and will be handed over to selected private companies. It is planned that the Cheollian 5 will become a world-class geostationary space weather satellite in 2031.

"After completion, this satellite will contribute to public safety by providing fast and accurate observational technology to monitor extreme weather and climate change, as well as observing space weather," KASA said on its official website.
Space weather monitoring is very important. Whenever a space launch will be carried out, launch service providers must monitor whether weather conditions are doing well. If not good, launch could potentially fail.
By building this satellite, South Korea wants to be more independent in developing its technology. This project can improve the capabilities of domestic space companies before entering the global market.
