Company profile
researched Aug 2026InSpace Co., Ltd. is a Korean aerospace technology company that develops satellite ground station systems, drone operation infrastructure and imagery analysis services. The company describes its core offering as an "image all-in-one service" spanning the collection, management, analysis and sale of video and image data, with processing of SAR, optical and infrared satellite imagery to produce geospatial intelligence products.
Its space business line includes ground station systems built on experience with the KOMPSAT and GEO-KOMPSAT satellite series, including the KPLO (Korean Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter) deep space ground station, ground stations for the GK-2A meteorological satellite operated by the Korea Meteorological Administration and the GK-2B environmental satellite, and a satellite image management system for K-water used in water resource monitoring. It also offers InPlanet, a Unity-based 3D satellite information display platform used for satellite attitude simulation and visualization of the space environment, along with space environment analysis and forecasting, space weather monitoring and solar flare analysis.
A second product line covers unmanned drone operations. InSpace supplies drone stations (models DS-S and DS-L, the battery-swapping DS-BC-L, and the smaller D-Lounge) that provide fixed and mobile station operation control, precision landing sensors, automatic charging modules, weather monitoring analysis and weatherproof outdoor operation. The DS-BC-L supports 24-hour drone operation via automatic battery replacement, simultaneous charging of up to six batteries with health monitoring, and internal climate control. The company also markets InView, an AI-based multipurpose integrated surveillance solution that combines ground and mobility cameras, DroneSAT and the SejongSat earth observation satellite for mid- and long-range monitoring with response when anomalies are detected.
