South Korea prepares for fourth launch of domestic Nuri space rocket
All inspections are expected to finish by Monday, according to Park Jong-chan, director of the Korean Launch Vehicle Enhancement Program at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI).
The Nuri, formally the Korea Space Launch Vehicle II (KSLV-II), is scheduled to lift off from the Naro Space Center in Goheung next Thursday.
Park said, "We have connected the third-stage rocket to the first and second stages, and we are carrying out the final electronic inspection on the integrated launch vehicle." Experts will also inspect the rocket’s exterior before moving it to the launch pad Tuesday.
The mission marks the first led by private company Hanwha Aerospace and the rocket’s first spaceflight in over two and a half years since its third launch in May 2023.
