Scanway has signed EUR 1.7 million deal with Korean satellite, remote sensing and AI manufacturer Nara Space Technology for the development and delivery of an observation payload for a demonstration satellite as part of the NarSha project. The telescope developed by Scanway will be capable of, among other things, shortwave infrared observations. The conclusion of the agreement follows a cooperation agreement announced at the beginning of the year.

NarSha is Korea's first project to monitor methane using a satellite equipped with advanced optical instruments. The project is being carried out by a consortium of Korean companies, with funding provided by, among others, the Korea Development Bank.
