Geo-KOMPSAT-2A (GK2A) is a geostationary meteorological satellite (located at 128.2° E) operated by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). (NORAD: 43823. Int: 2018-100A.)
Specifications[edit]
- Downlink frequency: 1692.14 MHzMegaHertz (MHz) 10^6 Hz (L-band)
- Polarization: Linear, East–West
