KITSAT-2 (a.k.a."Uribyol 2", "KITSAT-OSCAR 25", "KO-25" and "KITSAT-B") was a South Korean experimentalEarth observationmicrosatellite. KITSAT-2 was South Korea's second satellite and was the first to be developed and manufactured domestically by theKorea Advanced Institute of Science (KAIST).
The satellite was launched intoorbit on 26 September 1993, at 01:45UTC, on the 59th flight of theAriane-40 H10launch vehicle. The launch took place in theCentre Spatial Guyanais,French Guiana. KITSAT-2 was a South Koreanmicrosatellite that was launched along withSPOT-3. Its mission was very similar toPoSAT-1 (1993-061D).
The satellite's mission was to improve and enhance theKITSAT-1 systems, use domestically manufactured components, demonstrate experimental modules and to promote domestic space industry.[2][3][4][5][6]
