The fifth launch of the Nuri rocket has concluded.


The Korea Aerospace Administration and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute announced that the Nuri rocket's flight ended at 12:45 PM on October 7 at the Naro Space Center in Goheung, South Jeolla Province.


This marks the first time the Nuri rocket was launched on the scheduled date and time without delays. The first launch was postponed by an hour due to technical checks, while the second and third launches were delayed. The fourth launch was conducted approximately 18 minutes late due to an issue with the umbilical recovery pressure sensor.


The rocket successfully deployed four out of five small cluster satellites and all ten CubeSats. Researchers at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute are currently analyzing the flight data from the Nuri rocket. Detailed results from the launch are expected to be announced around 2 PM today.
