South Korean Technology Boosts 4iG’s Landmark Satellite Program

South Korean company TelePIX will equip future Hungarian satellites with state-of-the-art camera and sensor systems. Following a multi-stage selection process, Remred, a subsidiary of 4iG Space and Defense Technologies Ltd. (4iG SDT), has selected the South Korean company as the supplier for the camera systems for the HULEO satellites, Világgazdaság reports.

Under the contract, TelePIX will manufacture camera and sensor sets for HULEO electro-optical satellites that are capable of producing VHR (very high resolution) images, representing the highest technological standard required for Earth observation tasks and data collection. The HUSAT satellite constellation will thus ensure internationally competitive imaging capabilities for Earth observation at the highest level.

In the interest of a long-term partnership, the parties are also exploring the possibility of establishing a joint venture in Hungary specializing in the development and manufacture of electro-optical satellite cameras.

The globally recognized South Korean company TelePIX specializes in the development of high-resolution, space-qualified electro-optical (EO) systems, particularly solutions for small and medium-sized satellite programs where compact size, high performance, and reliability are critical factors. Its electro-optical systems support the execution of demanding Earth observation missions, offering excellent imaging performance, compact system architecture, and a higher level of reliability.

To improve imaging capabilities and mission efficiency, the company also develops on-board data processing technologies. TelePIX solutions support a wide range of commercial, institutional, and government applications, from environmental monitoring and cartography to infrastructure analysis and dual-use and defense-related Earth observation programs.

Within the HUSAT satellite program, Remred is responsible for the entire mission architecture of the HULEO constellation, system-wide planning, development, and testing, as well as the integration of the devices.

The HULEO program is being implemented at the Remtech Space Competence Center.

Remred is a professional partner and supplier to numerous major space programs, including the Artemis Lunar Gateway program for new manned moon landings and the interplanetary Comet Interceptor mission, and also collaborates with the world’s leading space agencies. The company has nearly 50 years of expertise and experience in space technology and also deals with space weather, space radiation, and the development and manufacture of the necessary specialized equipment.

International cooperation with globally recognized technology partners plays a key role in the implementation of the HUSAT program.

4iG SDT, part of the 4iG Group, has so far signed an agreement

• with the German company Vertex to build a state-of-the-art ground antenna system for HUSAT satellite communications, and
• with the French company Eutelsat to acquire frequency resources for the geostationary satellite orbit.

The selection of the next major international partner, the manufacturer of the HUSAT program’s geostationary satellite is currently underway.

4iG SDT’s partnerships with international companies in the space industry go beyond cooperation with technology suppliers: they strengthen the position of 4iG SDT and Remred in the international market for satellite system integration, and accelerate the development of Earth observation capabilities. With this, they contribute to ensuring that companies and governments will have access to even more accurate and readily available data for economic, environmental, and security policy decisions in the future.
