GOCI (Geostationary Ocean Colour Imager) Project GOCI is on board the Korean geostationary satellite, COMS, with other two payloads, Meteorological Imager and Ka-band satellite communication. GOCI was developed for 2003-2010 by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) and Astrium, France as a Korean space program. Supported by Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime affairs and supervised by Yu-Hwan Ahn, KORDI. GOCI was successfully launched on 27 June 2010 by Ariane-V at the Kourou space centre. KOSC (Korea Ocean Satellite Center) of KORDI is in charge of initial test and follow-on operational mission (mission planning, data acquisition and distribution, Cal/Val, algorithm development and applications).
