Innospace teams up with U.S. satellite development company to jointly develop low-earth orbit satellites (South Korea)

Innospace, a startup company with small satellite rocket-related technologies, has entered into a partnership with Saturn Satellite Networks (hereinafter referred to as Saturn), a US company that develops satellites, to develop a next-generation satellite.
The two companies announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding joint development, commercialization and investment of the developed products.
The company will jointly develop a low-orbit satellite called "FrogSat" optimized for the 1000W solar panel with Saturn's Korean subsidiary Space Systems. The satellite will have a lifespan of more than 10 years in low space orbit and will operate at 1,000 watts.
This will enable stable supply of power to the rocket. We aim to apply technology that allows multiple satellites to be loaded onto a rocket and conduct wrap-up party experiments at low cost.
The first area of application for the satellite is the 5th generation (5G) non-terrestrial network project "SkyCell."
The system will consist of 120 low-earth orbit satellites, and will require eight wrap-up parties for the Hanbit Mini, which will be implemented through Innospace's wrap-up party service.
The two companies will also work to establish a joint venture to develop the wrap-up party market in the U.S. They will also explore joint investments for long-term growth.
