The rollout of the Nuri rocket's support structure has begun.
The Korea Aerospace Administration and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute announced that around 11:15 AM, they started removing the support structure that was holding the Nuri rocket.
Previously, the Nuri rocket was transported to the launch pad at the Naro Space Center and successfully stood upright.
Following this, at approximately 9:40 AM, the fueling of the fuel tank commenced, and at 10:20 AM, the oxidizer tank was filled. The cryogenic high-pressure tank filling took place around 10:40 AM.
After completing the fuel loading, the Nuri rocket is set to launch at 12:25 PM.
Ten minutes before the launch, at 12:15 PM, the Nuri rocket will enter the automated launch operation (PLO) phase. From this point until just before launch, the process will proceed automatically.
The current weather conditions at the Naro Space Center are optimal for the Nuri rocket's launch. The sky is clear with no clouds, and the previously concerning winds are calm. 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 is also favorable. An analysis of solar activity, including solar flare eruptions, solar particle influx, and geomagnetic disturbances, indicates that there will be no impact on the launch from solar activity.
