Nuri (KSLV-II) liftoff
For its second test flight, Nuri launched a test satellite (1500 kg) into a Sun-synchronous orbit, from the Naro Space Center, South Korea, on 21 June 2022, at 07:00 UTC (16:00 local time).
The second launch of Nuri (KSLV-II)
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”.
Nuri (누리호) rocket preparation
According to the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), Nuri (누리호) is a three-stage liquid-propellant launch vehicle designed to “directly put a 1.5-ton application satellite into a 600-800 km Sun-synchronous orbit”.
Nuri is ready for the second launch
The first stage consists of four clustered 75-ton engines, the second stage has one 75-ton engine, and the third stage features a one 7-ton engine.
Nuri (누리호) rocket
In the first flight test, Nuri (also known as Korea Space Launch Vehicle-2 or KSLV-II) failed to place the dummy satellite into the target orbit due to a premature shutdown of the third-stage engine. On the second test launch, Nuri will try to place a dummy payload (1500 kg) into a Sun-synchronous orbit.
