“Last month’s successful fourth launch of the Nuri rocket [provided by Yonhap News].”
“Six secondary payload satellites have been selected for the sixth launch of the Nuri rocket, scheduled for 2027.”
“The Korea Aerospace Administration and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute announced the selection of six secondary payload satellites through a competition held from September 22 to October 24.”
“The selected secondary payload satellites consist of one 3U, four 6U, and one 27U satellites (1U equals 10 cm in width, length, and height).”
“For the 3U CubeSat, Suncheon City’s ‘SuncheonSat-1’, which will capture images of Suncheon National Garden and wetlands and analyze ecological changes, has been selected.”
“The 6U CubeSats include the ‘K-STAR’ from the National Security Research Institute, aimed at testing and verifying cybersecurity technologies; the ‘KAFASAT-2’ from the Korea Air Force Academy, used for cadet education by leveraging accumulated technologies in microsatellite design and development; ‘GAIMSat-1’ from Gwangju Metropolitan City, which aims to secure AI onboard data processing technology and verify autonomous flight algorithms; and ‘KMU ET-02’ from Kookmin University, which is aimed at detecting disaster risks through national forest status analysis and nurturing talent in space and AI.”
“For the 27U CubeSat, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute’s ‘Deep Space Exploration Demonstrator’, intended for performing orbit changes using low thrust in low-Earth orbit up to geosynchronous orbit and photographing the Moon and asteroid Apophis, has been selected.”
“The primary payload satellites for the sixth launch of the Nuri rocket are the five microcluster satellites 7 to 11.”
“In total, 13 satellites will head to space, including the six secondary payload satellites selected from the competition, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute’s domestic component verification satellite 3, and KAIST Satellite Research Center’s ‘Active Control Satellite (ADRSat).'”
