ANASIS-II (Army Navy Air Force Satellite Information System-II), formerly called "KMilSatCom 1", is a South Korean military/government communications satellite which was launched on 20 July 2020. It was built by Airbus Defence and Space as part of an offset package into the purchase of 40 F-35 combat aircraft.^[2][3]

The payload was launched aboard a reused 1st stage booster, B1058 featuring the NASA "worm" logo, which previously launched SpaceX DM-2. After stage separation it successfully landed aboard the drone ship Just Read the Instructions in the Atlantic Ocean. Both fairing halves were successfully caught by recovery ships Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief, making it the first successful catch attempt in which both halves were caught for reuse.

In October 2020, the Chosun Ilbo reported that South Korean Armed Forces had not developed the ground segment of ANASIS-II yet. It is likely that ANASIS-II will not be utilized for more than a year.^[4]

• Koreasat 5 also known as ANASIS-I which is a communication satellite for military use as well as for commercial use.
