The Nuri rocket has begun its journey to the launch pad on October 6.
The Korea Aerospace Administration and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute announced that transport to the launch pad started at 6 a.m. on October 6. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute held a launch preparation committee meeting at 6:30 p.m. on October 5 to review technical readiness and weather conditions, ultimately deciding to proceed with the transport.
The Nuri rocket will take approximately 1.5 hours to move from the assembly building at the Naro Space Center to the second launch pad.
Upon arrival at the launch pad, the Nuri rocket will undergo preparation work before being erected. This includes umbilical connections for power and propellant supply, as well as leak checks. If all steps proceed without issues, the installation of the Nuri rocket at the launch pad is expected to be completed later today.
The Korea Aerospace Administration plans to hold a 'Nuri Launch Management Committee' meeting on the morning of October 7 to comprehensively review technical readiness, weather conditions, space environment, and potential collision risks with space objects, ultimately determining the final launch time for the Nuri rocket.
The scheduled launch window for the Nuri rocket is from 12:23 p.m. to 1:23 p.m. on October 7.
