of Korea and managed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). STSAT-2 is to be launched into an orbit with 1500 km of apogee, 300 km of perigee, 80 o of inclination at Naro Space Center in Koheung, Korea, in Dec., 2007, using KSLV-1 (Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1). The primary mission of STSAT-2 is to acquire brightness temperature of the Earth at 23.8 GHz and 37 GHz and physical parameters such as cold liquid water and water vapor after post processing using DREAM (Dual-channel Radiometers for Earth and Atmosphere Monitoring). DREAM is also to demonstrate the fundamental technology and application of spaceborne microwave radiometer system for Earth remote sensing. The other mission of STSAT-2 is for precise orbit determination using SLR (Satellite Laser Ranging). LRA (Laser Retro-reflector Array) is under development for SLR, which consists of an array of 9 retro-reflectors and mechanical housing. Here, STSAT-2 program and its scientific applications are discussed.
