Thales Alenia Space to build radar satellites for South Korea

The video discusses contracts with Korean Aerospace and Haowa Systems to develop high-resolution radar satellites for South Korea's Agency of Defense Development. These satellites, equipped with synthetic aperture radar payloads, enable all-day earth imaging through cloud cover. The SAR satellites feature a specialized 5-meter antenna that unfolds in space. Korean authorities plan to use the satellite constellation for surveillance, intelligence, and control of specific areas.

What advantage do the satellites provide in terms of imaging?

What are the intended uses of the satellite constellation by Korean authorities?
