Scanway launches cooperation with Korean space teledetection firm

Scanway signed a partnership agreement with Nara Space Technology, a leading South Korean company in satellite production, remote sensing, and artificial intelligence, on January 30, 2024. The collaboration aims to develop microsatellite systems for Earth observation, optical instruments, and observational payloads for the NarSha project—a constellation of microsatellites to monitor methane. The first demonstration satellite launch is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026, with plans for at least 6-12 additional satellites. Funded by the Korea Development Bank, NarSha aims to address the climate crisis.

Scanway's involvement expands its product portfolio beyond Europe, enhancing its role in the global space industry.
