Nuriho makes contact with nine of twelve cubesats, early operations steady
South Korea’s space agency and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute said nine of the twelve cubesats launched on the Nuriho rocket have made initial contact. Thirteen satellites, including a next-generation medium satellite, reached a 600 km orbit. Three cubesats have yet to make first contact, and efforts using U.S. orbital data will continue. Contacted satellites are undergoing early checks before starting full missions.
