The Nuri rocket has been positioned vertically on the launch pad.
On the morning of October 6, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) announced that the Nuri rocket completed its vertical positioning and fixing work at 10:35 a.m.
KARI will begin inspection work in the afternoon to prepare for the launch. This includes connecting umbilicals for power and propellant (fuel and oxidizer) charging, as well as conducting leak checks.
Earlier that day, the Nuri rocket was transported from the assembly building at the Naro Space Center to the second launch pad using an unmanned special transport vehicle, taking approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, the Korea Space Agency will hold a launch management committee meeting at 8 a.m. on October 7 to decide on the propellant charging for the Nuri rocket and finalize the launch time.
