[KOREA AEROSPACE RESEARCH INSTITUTE]<\/p>\n<p>                      \u00a0  <br \/>   Korea\u2019s homegrown Nuri rocket successfully deployed all 13 satellites early Thursday, with the nation\u2019s space agency confirming that signals were received from the main payload.\u00a0  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   Nuri lifted off at 1:13 a.m. from the Naro Space Center in Goheung, South Jeolla. The launch was delayed by 18 minutes due to an abnormal signal in an umbilical retrieval pressure sensor, but the remainder of the process proceeded smoothly.  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   The 200-ton rocket fulfilled its mission by placing the next-generation medium-sized satellite CAS500-3, along with 12 CubeSats, into their planned 600-kilometer (373-mile) orbit. The flight wrapped up at 1:31 a.m.  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   According to the Korea Aerospace Administration, all phases of the launch \u2014 including the first-, second-, and third-stage engine burns and fairing separation \u2014 occurred as scheduled.  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   \u201cThis successful fourth launch not only reaffirms that Korea has secured independent space-transport capabilities, but also marks the first government-industry joint launch executed as a single team,\u201d Science and ICT Minister Bae Kyung-hoon said during a post-launch briefing. \u201cIt represents an important turning point as Korea\u2019s space-industry ecosystem shifts from a government-centered model to one led by the private sector.\u201d  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   The fourth launch marked several milestones: the largest number of satellites deployed into the target orbit, the first nighttime launch of a main satellite intended for aurora observation, and the first time a private company, Hanwha Aerospace, oversaw the entire pre-launch process.  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   The remaining 12 CubeSats will establish communication with ground stations sequentially according to their designated schedules. They are expected to conduct a wide range of missions, including weather monitoring, medical research, and space-environment observation.\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>BY LEE JAE-LIM   [<a href=\"https:\/\/koreajoongangdaily.joins.com\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection\" class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"741811115a1e1511181d19341e1b1b1a13151a135a171b5a1f06\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published: 27 Nov. 2025, 04:08 Updated: 27 Nov. 2025, 04:22 Korea&#8217;s homegrown Nuri space rocket lifts off from&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":285412,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[90,416,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-285411","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-science","9":"tag-space","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
