Abstract
A space infrastructure was established at NSPO during the course of the ROCS AT-1 program development. The ROCSAT-2 program, the follow-on program to ROCSAT-1, is with the goal of continuously developing the national space applications and industry and promoting space researches by using the exist infrastructure. The ROCSAT-2 mission is Earth remote sensing for the civilian applications and conducting the scientific experiment of upper atmosphere lightning observation. The NSPO will be the system integrator for the entire system including spacecraft, payloads, ground segment, and launch vehicle. The ROCSAT-2 spacecraft (the spacecraft bus plus the remote sensing instrument) will be jointly developed by NSPO and the Germany company DAS A. The operation concepts for both payloads are described. The characteristics of the ROCSAT-2 spacecraft are identified. The orbit selection concept of the ROCSAT-2 satellite is also discussed.
