Preferred term

GEO-KOMPSAT-2B  

Definition

  • KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration) is planning for the follow-on geostationary meteorological satellite (GEO-KOMPSAT-2) to continue the Korean COMS (Communications, Ocean, Meteorological Satellite) mission. From 2009 onwards, KMA has prepared a feasibility study for the GEO-KOMPSAT-2 program under the cooperation of the following Ministries: Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP), Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF), and Ministry of Environment (ME) of the Korean government. The GEO-KOMPSAT-2 program has been approved in September 2010, and was kicked off in the middle of 2012. Note: The nickname Cheollian means long distance view (literally “Thousand Li View”) in Korean. KMA/NMSC (Korea Meteorological Administration/National Meteorological Satellite Center) of Korea started the COMS-Next (GEO-KOMPSAT-2) program with the overall objective to obtain geostationary meteorological data for continuous monitoring of meteorological phenomena in the Asia-Oceania region. Specific mission goals are: • Continuing the COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) meteorological mission • Improving the severe weather monitoring - Higher frequency of observation - Retrieving the atmospheric structure (pseudo-sounding) • Improving the support of the NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) model with an efficient data assimilation model • Intensifying the environment & climate monitoring - Various surface information retrieval - Air pollution monitoring - Establishing long-term observation data. The GEO-KOMPSAT-2 program comprises two satellites for multi-purpose applications: GEO-KOMPSAT-2A for meteorological missions and GEO-KOMPSAT-2B for ocean and environmental monitoring. KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) of Daejeon, Korea, is responsible for the development of the GEO-KOMPSAT-2 space segment while KMA/NMSC implements the ground segment. (en)
