South Korea’s homegrown Nuriho (KSLV-II) rocket is set to attempt its fifth launch on Oct. 7, carrying 15 satellites. The launch window is from 12:23 p.m. to 1:23 p.m. The Space Agency will set the final launch time after reviewing readiness, weather, the space environment and collision risks. The mission will deploy five NEONSat satellites sequentially with 35 to 40 seconds between separations.

South Korea’s Nuriho rocket is set for its fifth launch on Oct. 7 from the Naro Space Center, carrying 15 satellites including five NEONSAT Earth-observation satellites. The mission requires sequential separation of multiple payloads and stable attitude control. Hanwha Aerospace is expanding its role from stage assembly to greater participation in launch operations, with plans to take full responsibility from the seventh launch. A 24 billion won technology-transfer deal supports the shift from government-led development to private operations.
