New Oversea Ground Site
Pre-specification
1. General description
Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) is performing the Micro-Satellite Constellation
Program, and as a part of the program, KARI is planning projects of new oversea operation site
development. In these projects, the contractor shall take all the responsibilities of completely
manufacturing, delivery, installation, performance verification of new antenna systems.
2. Development schedule
The System Final Acceptance Test shal be occurred no later than June in 2029.

*Developments Schedule could be changed.
3. Delivery Site Information
Oversea Ground Site is yet to be determined, But the expected candidate site are as follows
Antenna system shal the delivery at the candidate site directly after FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) at
Manufacture due to developments plan
Candidate Site #1: West Australia
Candidate Site #2: South Africa
Candidate Site #3: Europe (SPAIN)
