S. Korea to launch fourth spy satellite on Apr. 22nd from Cape Canaveral

South Korea is scheduled to send into space its fourth spy satellite Tuesday morning Korea Time from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

This latest launch is part of South Korea's plan to put into orbit five satellites by the end of this year to bolster surveillance of North Korea's nuclear and missile threats and reduce reliance on U.S. satellite imagery.

South Korea's first spy satellite was launched in December 2023.

The success of this latest launch will be confirmed some three hours after blast-off.
