Nuri (KSLV-II) reaches nominal orbit on its fifth launch... All five primary payload satellites separate

[Financial News] After its fifth launch, Nuri successfully separated its fairing (satellite protective cover) and was placed into its nominal orbit.
Nuri made its fifth launch as scheduled at 12:25 p.m. on the 7th from the Naro Space Center in Goheung, South Jeolla Province. After successfully separating the fairing, it reached its target altitude at around 12:37 p.m. Then, at around 12:41 p.m., all five primary payload satellites, the NeonSat satellites, were successfully separated.
Nuri’s flight is scheduled to last a total of 19 minutes and 45 seconds, until around 1 p.m. The launch results, including satellite communications, are expected to be confirmed around 2 p.m.
Earlier, in preparation for that day’s launch, Nuri completed checks of its propellant supply system at around 7:50 a.m. and completed the fuel and oxidizer loading at around 11:06 a.m. It then completed the withdrawal of the erection system at around 11:55 a.m. At 12:15 p.m., 10 minutes before the scheduled launch time of 12:25 p.m., it switched to automatic operation mode.
Nuri carried five ultra-small cluster satellites as its primary payload and 10 CubeSats as secondary payloads. The cluster satellites will precisely monitor the Korean Peninsula, while the CubeSats are expected to explore the space environment through experiments involving pharmaceuticals for use in space and industrial components, as well as observations of the space radiation environment and Earth’s magnetic field.
