KITSAT-3 was a South Koreanremote sensingminisatellite which carried MEIS (Multispectral Earth Imaging System) and SENSE (Space ENvironment Scientific Experiment) instruments tolow Earth orbit (LEO). Launched on 26 May 1999 by Indian space agencyIndian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), onorbit the satellite was renamed toUribyol-3. Manufactured byKAIST Satellite Technology Research Center (SaTReC), KITSAT-3 was developed with experience fromKITSAT-1 andKITSAT-2 (no heritage to the KITSAT-1 and KITSAT-2 bus) and was the first independently designed South Koreansatellite.[1][2][3][4]
Kitsat-3 was launched in thePSLV-C2 mission by 26 May 1999 by Indian space agencyISRO at 06:22UTC fromSatish Dhawan Space Centre in India. The launch was the first commercial launch by ISRO of itslaunch vehicle (PSLV-C2) and US$1.0 million (equivalent to US$1.89 million in 2024) was charged by the Indian agency for launching and injecting the satellite in the low Earth orbit.[5]
