US foreign space exploration company SpaceX is launching a telecom satellite dedicated to the South Korean military next month, Anasys No. 2 (local time).

According to Spaceflight Now, aerospace media, and Teslati, who delivers SpaceX news, SpaceX has begun preparing to launch Anasis 2 at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

SpaceX will launch Anasys 2 on a Falcon 9 rocket and launch it at the 39A launcher at the Kennedy Space Center earlier next month, SpaceflightNow said.

Teslati reported that the planned date for the launch of Anisis 2 was tentatively set in the second week of July.

SpaceX was founded by Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk and launched the first manned spacecraft as a private company on the 30th of last month.

Anasys 2 departed from Airbus' French factory on the 8th and arrived at the Kennedy Space Center.

SpaceflightNow quoted industry sources as saying, "Anasis 2 was carried on an Antonov An-124 freighter from Toulouse, France to a Florida launch site. "I said.

Airbus also confirmed that it had completed the delivery of Anasys No. 2 through its website.

SpaceflightNow said that Anasis 2 is likely to reach a geostationary orbit using a self-propelled system over the equator at a height of 22,000 miles (approximately 35,400 km).

ANACIS No. 2 was produced in accordance with the compromise trade between the Korean military and Lockheed Martin of the United States (the way in which the weapon seller provides technology transfer or counter-benefits to the purchasing country).

As the ROK military chose the F-35A stealth fighter as the next-generation fighter, Lockheed Martin decided to provide one military communication satellite, and Lockheed Martin later signed a contract with Airbus to manufacture a military communication satellite.

As a result, Airbus produced Anasys No. 2 based on its telecommunications satellite'Eurostar E3000', and the ROK military takes ownership under the contract.

When the ANACIS 2 is launched, the ROK military will have the first military-only satellite with improved information processing speed, anti-jamming capability, and communication range.

The specific performance and specifications of Anasys 2 have not been released.
