Field test of KOMPSAT-5 Calibration Equipment

Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) is developing the KOMPSAT-5 (K-5, the fifth of KOrea MultiPurpose SATellite) system of which primary payload is X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). K-5 CALVAL (Calibration & Validation) activities must be important tasks for successful operation. The field test of K-5 Calibration Equipments can support a direction of CALVAL activities during not only IOT (In-Orbit Test) phase but also normal operation phase.
