SEOUL, December 09 (AJP) - All 12 CubeSats launched aboard South Korea’s fourth Nuri rocket mission have successfully established communication with ground stations, confirming the full success of the launch, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute said on Monday.

Previously unresponsive satellites — including EEE Tester-1 developed by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, SpaceInTech’s B-1000 and Quaternion’s PERSAT — have now made contact.

The Nuri rocket was launched on Nov. 27 carrying the next-generation medium satellite No. 3 along with 12 CubeSats. All payloads were successfully placed into a 600-kilometer earth orbit.
