Abstract

The SaTReC is to develop, deploy, and operate a low Earth orbiting small satellite system, KITSAT-3, carrying a remote sensing payload, a space science payload, and a data collection system. Through the development of KITSAT-3, the SaTReC is to demonstrate the small satellite system which provides highly accurate attitude control, high speed data transmission, and a unique spacecraft configuration and to provide educational opportunities to Korean space industries and research institute. The KITSAT-3 is expected to be launched in the beginning of 1997 by Chinese Long March IV as a secondary payload into about 800 km's sunsynchronous orbit.
