The fueling of the Nuri rocket has been completed.
On October 7, the Korea Aerospace Administration (KASA) and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) announced that the fueling of the Nuri rocket's fuel tank was completed around 10:50 AM. Earlier, at approximately 9:40 AM, kerosene fueling was conducted, followed by oxidizer fueling starting at 10:20 AM. The cryogenic high-pressure tank fueling took place around 10:40 AM.
Having completed the fueling process, the Nuri rocket is set to launch at 12:25 PM.
Ten minutes before the launch, at 12:15 PM, the Nuri will enter the automated launch operation (PLO) phase. The process will proceed automatically until just before launch.
Ten seconds prior to launch, the computer will prepare for liftoff, and four seconds before launch, the engine will ignite. Once normal output is reached, the launch vehicle's hold-down mechanism will be released, allowing the launch to occur.
Meanwhile, the weather conditions at the Naro Space Center are optimal for the Nuri rocket launch. The sky is clear with no clouds, and there are no strong winds. Currently, the average ground wind speed is 2 m/s, with a maximum gust of 5 m/s. The upper-level winds are also within acceptable conditions for launch, and there is no risk of lightning.
The space environment has also been deemed suitable. An analysis of solar activity, including solar flares, solar particle influx, and geomagnetic disturbances, indicates that there will be no adverse effects on the launch from solar activity.
