STSAT-2C
STSAT-2C was a 100-kilogram South Korean science and technology satellite built for the final Naro flight. It observed the ionospheric and radiation environment in an elliptical orbit while demonstrating precise orbit measurement, a reaction-wheel assembly, an infrared sensor, a femtosecond laser oscillator, and other domestic spacecraft technologies.

- Description
- STSAT-2C was a 100-kilogram South Korean science and technology satellite built for the final Naro flight. It observed the ionospheric and radiation environment in an elliptical orbit while demonstrating precise orbit measurement, a reaction-wheel assembly, an infrared sensor, a femtosecond laser oscillator, and other domestic spacecraft technologies.
- Destination
- Elliptical low Earth orbit ranging from approximately 300 km perigee to 1,500 km apogee at 80° inclination for space-environment observations and in-orbit verification of Korean orbit-determination, laser-ranging, femtosecond-laser, infrared-sensor, and reaction-wheel technologies
- Launch Site
- Outcome
- Naro Flight 3 placed STSAT-2C into its planned roughly 300-by-1,500-kilometre orbit. Ground stations received its beacon and established contact, allowing the spacecraft's science observations and in-orbit technology demonstrations to proceed.
