Homegrown Space Program Expands Satellite Constellation
Korea’s homegrown Nuri rocket is nearing completion for its fifth launch, scheduled for Oct. 7, which will carry 15 satellites into orbit. The mission aims to build a satellite constellation for national security and disaster monitoring, with five Neonsat microsatellites and 10 CubeSats developed by Korean universities, research institutes, and companies. The launch will be Korea’s first attempt to launch multiple primary-payload satellites at once, and it will also be Nuri’s largest satellite delivery mission to date.
