Scanway has signed a cooperation agreement with Korean satellite, remote sensing and AI manufacturer Nara Space Technology which include the development of a microsatellite system for Earth observation, the development of optical instruments and the development of observation payloads for the NarSha project. 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.

As part of the established collaboration, the companies intend to develop the first demonstration microsatellite to obtain high spatial and temporal resolution imaging for global and point sources of methane. Such an operation will improve the current observational capabilities of space-based emissions of greenhouse gases to address the climate crisis and reduce methane emissions. The launch of the first demonstration satellite is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026, and following the eventual success of the demonstration satellite, at least six to 12 further microsatellites are also planned to be launched from Scanway.
