South Korea Delays Fifth Launch Over Nanosatellite Thruster Issues
The fifth launch of South Korea’s Nuri rocket has been postponed until October due to problems with thrusters on nanosatellites. The Korea AeroSpace Administration and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have replaced the underperforming thrusters and are conducting further testing. Private companies will take the lead in the launch process, with a focus on deploying payloads into orbit. The final launch date will be determined at a launch management committee meeting scheduled for late August, as reported by Yonhap News Agency.
