South Korea has officially launched a task force to secure a low Earth orbit satellite communications network, bringing together relevant ministries, agencies and outside experts.

It will examine demand, domestic technological capabilities, costs and economic and non-economic benefits, and operational plans through regular meetings, while running a separate advisory panel of private-sector specialists.
