South Korea launches second military spy satellite with SpaceX rocket

South Korea on Monday claimed the successful launch of its second indigenous spy satellite on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, South Korean media reported.

The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 8:17 a.m. (7:17 p.m. local time) from the John F. Kennedy Space Centre in the US state of Florida and sent the reconnaissance satellite into orbit about 45 minutes after launch.

South Korea’s defence ministry said in a statement that the satellite was successfully separated from the rocket. It said it would check the satellite’s performance through its link with an overseas ground station.

The Koreas each launched their first spy satellites last year – North Korea in November and South Korea in December – amid heightened hostilities. They said their satellites would enhance each other’s surveillance capabilities and strengthen their own missile strike capabilities.

Measuring the height of water in the planet’s lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and the ocean.

Led by NASA and the French space agency CNES, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission will provide high-definition data on the salt- and fresh water on Earth’s surface. A satellite built for NASA and the French space agency Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES) to observe nearly all the water on our planet’s surface lifted off on its way to low-Earth orbit at 3:46 a.m. PST on Friday. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) spacecraft also has contributions from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the UK Space Agency.

Witnesses' Waltz - Vandenberg, 2024

Showed up an hour early and waited for four hours, the launch was pushed back to the end of the window and the weather was getting worse. Decided to leave because everyone was hungry and we'd been in such a rush to get to the little parking lot where you could get this view that we hadn't gotten any food. Thought it would be scrubbed but it, uh, wasn't.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, launched from Cape Canaveral in the early hours of June 19, streaks above a stand of bald cypress trees. This was the second time in less than a year that a SpaceX rocket appeared in photographer Mac Stone’s frame while he was shooting at night in a remote swamp. Stone says that the increased frequency of launches without fanfare “suggests that we have crossed over into a new era where cosmic missions are simply business as usual.”
