South Korea's first geostationary satellite "telescope" on the evening of 26 local time 6:41 (Korean time on the 27th early morning 6:41) in the French Guiana Space

Center launch.

According to vibram five fingers reports, the French satellite launch service provider, "Arianespace (Arianespace)" with the

Ariane-5ECA day rocket, the "telescope" into a geosynchronous transfer orbit. This is South Korea since September 2003 been developing the "telescope" has, after a

lapse of nine years and 7 months to achieve the feat.

189.2 seconds after launch to protect the shell from the satellite 24 minutes 38 seconds after the satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO), 32 minutes 38

seconds after the satellite launch in the 2005.3 km altitude from the body, then the computer automatically processes the satellite started. Evening 7:19, in Australia

when Gallas (Dongara) reception centers receive a "telescope" signals.

According to analysis of the received signal, satellite power, the temperature inside and outside equipment, equipped with state of the object, the satellite's

perspective and so on, everything is normal.

Launch of the first 37 hours, 62 hours, the first 101 hours, the satellite will use its own power system three times a geosynchronous transfer orbit from a further

rise, launching the first 6 days of solar panels fully extended, 7 lines will be launched every day, firing 2 weeks later, satellite and further increased to reach the

target orbit - 128.2 degrees east longitude above the geostationary orbit.

Satellite into target orbit at the end, it will conduct various tests and improve the work, starting from the end of this year the normal implementation of the

Communications, Marine and weather observation missions.

Reported the successful launch of "clairvoyance" will enable Korea to become the world's first communications satellite research and development 10 countries, to

provide the next generation of satellite communications services to lay a solid foundation. Meanwhile, new technologies such as satellite TV set-top boxes that can

ensure global competitiveness, thus promoting the development of related industries.

In addition, Korea will become the world's first seven five fingers shoes and countries have meteorological satellites. So far,

South Korea 1 every 30 minutes to provide weather forecasts, but the future can be provided every 15 minutes, once the relevant information, especially in times of

crisis, every 8 minutes 1 can provide meteorological information to further raise the quality of life.
