South Korea뭩 New Eye in the Sky Protects Farms and Forests
A powerful new South Korean satellite is now orbiting Earth to help protect farms and forests below. Launched on July 7, the Next-Generation Medium-Sized Satellite No. 4 successfully sent its first signals back to Earth. Flying about 888 kilometers above the planet, it takes detailed pictures of the country with its high-tech camera every three days. The satellite can help spot forest fires, predict crop harvests, and find harmful pests before they cause major damage.
