South Korea has successfully conducted the third test flight of a solid-fuel space rocket as part of efforts to create an independent space-based surveillance system for the DPRK. Yonhap reports.

It was noted that the space launch vehicle was launched from a barge located in the water about 4 kilometers south of Jeju Island on December 4 at 14:00 local time, and placed a small Earth observation satellite into orbit at an altitude of about -about 650 km. .

The 100-kilogram synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite is reportedly being developed by Hanwha Systems. The first two test flights took place in March and December 2022.

The ministry said that once the development of the solid-fuel space launch vehicle is completed, the South Korean military will be able to launch small satellites designed for surveillance and monitoring in accordance with security requirements and in unforeseen situations.

It is also planned to develop a space delivery system capable of launching heavier satellites weighing 500-700 kg into low Earth orbit.

It can be recalled that North Korea announced the successful launch of a ballistic missile carrying a spy satellite.

North Korea also reportedly said it would consider any interference with its satellites a declaration of war. North Korea claims that in this case it will “use deterrence measures.”
