Gyeonggi Climate Satellite 1, which will be launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, is an optical satellite designed to detect changes in urban areas and ecosystems in the Gyeonggi region using optical equipment.



Although it is a cube satellite (ultra-small satellite) weighing 25 kg and about the size of a microwave oven, it is equipped with a high-resolution multispectral payload and a high-speed data processing unit, enabling the observation of precise data based on visible and near-infrared wavelength images.
