I’ve seen several stories about the explosion in North Korea last week claiming South Kroean intelligence got its first indicators through satellite imagery and seismic instruments. Do they have their own satellites? Does the US share its own satellite imagery with them?
I should think that with all those US troops on South Korean bases, we must be sharing some info with them. Sorry, no cite…
SK does have its own satelites, but has been dependent on other countries to launch them. It looks as if they are pursuing their own launch capabilities. link
South Korea is set to lauch its first military satelite in 2005.
