The KOMPSAT-2 was developed by KARI and it was successfully launched from Plesetsk, Russia on 28th July 2006. The Korean government decided the commercialization of the KOMPSAT-2 image data and direct reception services worldwide. SPOT Image, based in Toulouse (France) was selected by KARI through an international open bidding as a foreign company for the KOMPSAT-2 image promotion over the entire world except the territory of Republic of Korea including the North Korea, the United States of America, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. KAI (Korea Aerospace Industry Ltd.) is an engaged Korean company for this area. KARI has responsibility to operate the satellite, data acquisition, archiving for the worldwide commercialization. For the processing and delivery of the KOMPSAT-2 image data to the users of KAI and SPOT Image, KAI has the binding contract with KARI. So KAI has the responsibility for the commercial ground station operation such as user support, data processing, and the data delivery. The KOMPSAT-2 ground station is hosted in KARI, so KARI has developed the concept of KOCUST (KOMPSAT-2 Commercial User Support Team) jointly with KAI to support the data processing and delivery as KOMPSAT-2 developer and satellite operator. The main purpose of the KOCUST is to support the operational activities to provide the data and service quality to satisfy customers. KOCUST will be organized by the members of KARI and KAI together. KARI members will mainly take the role of KOCUST coordination, data processing and user support in a public sector. KAI members are going to take user desk, data validation and delivery et cetera, which are related with users. This paper describes a summarized concepts of KOCUST like organization, dedicated tasks of each part and work flow of daily operation.

Utilization of KOMPSAT-2 satellite image is growing, because the resolution of KOMPSAT -2 is improved 43.5 times than that of KOMPSAT-1. To support for satellite image commercialization, KOCUST(KOMPSAT Customer & User Support Team) was composed, operation process was established and defined and support system for satellite image Commercialization was constructed. Also the support system constantly is improved for various user. In this paper, organization and function of support system developed so far these days for commercial user and operations related with it were described. In addition, direction of development was discussed

다목적실용위성 2호(KOMPSAT-2)는 2006년 7월 28일 러시아 플레세츠크(Plesetsk) 발사장에서 성공적으로 발사되어 현재 초기운영 및 영상 검증과정을 거치며 영상자료를 실제 사용자들에게 배포하기위한 최종 준비 작업이 진행되고 있다. 다목적실용위성 2호는 1m급 의 고해상도 영상을 촬영할 수 있기 때문에 국내외 많은 사용자들의 관심과 요청을 받고 있다. 항우연 우주웅용센터에서는 이상의 요구사항에 대응하기 위하여 영상자료 주문접수 및 배포업무를 담당하는 전담팀 (KOCUST)을 구성하였으며, 국내외 상용배포 대행업체를 선정하는 등 사용자지원 체계구축 업무를 수행하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 영상자료 요청에서부터 촬영，데이터 생성 그리고 전달까지의 일련의 과정을 체계적으로 정리함으로써 운성운영 과정에 대한 사용자들의 이해를 증진시 키는데 도움이 되고자 한다. 나아가 사용자들이 쉽게 다목적실용위성 2호 영상자료를 검색 및 획득할 수 있는 방법에 대해 논하고자 한다.
