Hanwha Systems to Build Korea's AI Space Watch System

Hanwha Systems signed a contract to develop South Korea's National Space Situational Awareness System, known as K-SSA ^[1]. The project uses artificial intelligence and ultra-small satellites to monitor space objects in real-time ^[2]. This system aims to predict potential orbital collisions and track the re-entry risks of falling debris ^[1][3].

The core technology utilizes AI as the primary command and control hub on the ground ^[1]. It manages large volumes of observational data collected from various space-based sensors ^[1]. By integrating these tools, South Korea seeks to strengthen its autonomous capabilities in managing space traffic and safety ^[2][3].
