Korea's Nuri 3 Commercial Satellite Launch | Korea Aerospace Research Institute

For its third flight, Nuri launched 8 satellites into a Sun-synchronous orbit, from the Naro Space Center, South Korea, on May 25, 2023, at 09:24 UTC (18:24 local time). Nuri (누리호), also known as KSLV-II (Korea Space Launch Vehicle-2), is a three-stage liquid-propellant launch vehicle developed by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) to “directly put a 1.5-ton application satellite into a 600-800 km Sun-synchronous orbit.”

In 2022, South Korea became the seventh country in the world to have developed a space launch vehicle that can carry a more than 1-ton satellite, after Russia, the United States, France, China, Japan and India.
