Satrec Initiative to build 10-cm optical satellites for Hanwha SAR constellation

Satrec Initiative, a Hanwha Systems subsidiary, will supply 10-centimeter-class optical satellites to complement Hanwha's SAR constellation announced in July, enhancing South Korea's commercial Earth-observation capability. The move signals a shift toward higher-resolution optical imaging to pair with SAR data, potentially strengthening dual-use defense and commercial applications. Details on launch timeline and number of satellites remain undisclosed.
