Associated space launch
The KOMPSAT 1 (Korean Multi-purpose Satellite 1) Earth observation satellite was developed jointly by KARI and TRW. ACRIMSat (Active Cavity Radiometric Irradiance Monitor Satellite) was a satellite to ascertain the extent of solar radiation variability.
ACRIMSAT was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Taurus 2110 | Arirang-1 & ACRIMSat’, on board a Minotaur-C 2110 space rocket.
The launch took place on Dec. 21, 1999, 7:13 a.m. from Space Launch Complex 576E.
