The country on Wednesday marked the sixth anniversary of the launch of its first satellite Arirang I.
The Korea Aerospace Research Institute said the satellite since its launch in 1999 has orbited the earth 32,085 times and taken 347,000 photos.
Arirang I has also monitored major natural disasters on the Korean Peninsula such as forest fires, typhoons and yellow sand storms originating from China.
A second satellite, Arirang II, is set for launch early next year.
