It weighs only 3.5 kg and is optimized for remote sensing image data collection using technology developed in a recently announced joint venture with Infiniti Electro-Optics (a division of Ascendent Technology Group, Inc.). This small-to-medium-sized gas-powered drone measures 41 cm wide, 41 cm long, and 35.2 cm high. In September 2021, Hancom Group introduced the HD-500 observation drone. The Sejong-1 extends Hancom’s data collection capabilities by adding to its airborne remote sensing image collection fleet. This level of global coverage will enable Hancom Group to subdivide global observation areas, shorten data acquisition times, and expand to global services. Hancom Group plans to launch four more on single satellites Sejong-series sequentially and anticipates launching and operating cluster satellites, more than 50 satellites per cluster. It will orbit the Earth 14 to 16 times a day, completing an orbit every 90 minutes, and collect image data of 7 wavelengths using a 5m-resolution observation camera. The Sejong-1 is a low earth orbit CubeSat, 20 cm wide, 10 cm long, 30 cm high, and weighing only 10.8 kg. By owning and developing its own satellites and solutions, the company has established an all-in-one service system that collects, manages, analyzes, and sells video data, securing an unrivaled competitive posture and expanding its business. Hancom InSpace has been providing remote sensing image data service since 2012 through the establishment and operation of ground stations for satellite and unmanned drone systems. Hancom InSpace and the Sejong-1 Low Earth Orbit CubeSat Hancom Group also plans to expand into other data usage capacities, such as forest resource management, disaster management, and detection of urban changes, and provide video data services tailored to various demands in the public market through cooperation with companies such as Hancom Inc., Hancom Lifecare, and Hancom MDS. Hancom Group plans to penetrate the global market starting with Southeast Asia, which has a high proportion of agricultural industry. With this unrivaled total-service belt, Hancom Group is targeting the agricultural sector, which shows the highest demand among the remote sensing service market. With the launch of Sejong-1, Hancom Group will complete the first step in creating a worldwide remote sensing data service belt linking space, the aerial area, and the ground, using satellites and drones equipped with ultra-high-resolution sensors. The world’s first three-tiered remote sensing image data service belt “The global image data service market is expected to grow significantly from KRW81 trillion this year to KRW100 trillion in 2024, and Hancom Group will continue to push for bold differentiation strategies and investments to gain an edge in the electro-optical/infrared image data service market.” “As the global space industry is entering a private-led ‘new-space’ era, we will lead the Korean space industry,” says Choi Myungjin, CEO of Hancom InSpace.
