KT SAT, the satellite business subsidiary of KT Group, has taken on integrated mission control of K-RadCube, a Korean CubeSat aboard NASA's Artemis II launched on Monday, raising its prospects of evolving into a comprehensive satellite company.
K-RadCube was set to be deployed into high orbit approximately five hours after the rocket launch, beginning a two-week mission. During this period, KT SAT's role in providing integrated control and operations — encompassing satellite command and ground station management — has become critically important.
The first communication attempt with K-RadCube was to be made within two hours of deployment, with confirmation of normal operations expected between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. the same day. Ahead of the launch, KT SAT built an integrated operations system and linked a total of five ground stations across the United States, Europe, Asia and South America.
