Thanks CTOnews.com net friend aviation gentleman, rain and snow carries the way, west window old matter clue delivery! CTOnews.com May 25 news, South Korea's self-developed launch vehicle "World" was scheduled to launch yesterday afternoon, but due to poor command transmission between the launch control computer and the programmable logic controller (PLC) on the launch pad helium tank, the launch was stopped.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the "World" is confirmed to be launched for the third time at 6:24 p.m. on May 25.

South korea ministry of science, technology, information and communications and korea aerospace research institute held the morning launch management committee meeting, listen to the launch automatic control system, launch pad equipment control system inspection repair results report, and finalize the launch time.

Unlike previous test launches carrying simulated satellites, this launch will put eight satellites developed by private companies for scientific research purposes into orbit, one of which is NEXTSat 2, a next-generation small satellite developed by the Korea Academy of Science and Technology.

In addition, there is a 4-kg Earth Observation Technology Demonstration CubeSat JLC-101-v1-2, a 10-kg Cosmic Radiation Monitoring CubeSat Lumir-T1 and a 6-kg Earth Observation and Weather Monitoring CubeSat KSAT3U. The payload also has a constellation of four 6-U cubesats SNIPE, which can be used to identify temporal and spatial variations in the structure of small-scale plasmas in the ionosphere and magnetosphere.

CTOnews.com previously reported that South Korea's Space Launch Vehicle No. 2 (KSLV-II) failed to put a virtual satellite into orbit during its first launch on October 21, 2021, but successfully launched a virtual satellite and a performance verification satellite into low orbit 700 kilometers above the Earth during its second test on June 21, 2022. South Korea became the seventh country in the world to launch a satellite weighing more than one ton using a domestically developed space rocket.

Lee Sang-ryool, head of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, said the significance of the third launch is that it is the first challenge to send an actual satellite into space.

"For the first and second launches of the Nuri rocket, we focused on developing our own launch vehicle. Based on this success, the third launch will be an enhancement project to improve reliability and stabilize the launch vehicle. "

"The third launch is significant because it will be the first time we launch with our own customers. We have been using launch vehicles from other countries, but we will eventually launch satellites from Korean customers with launch vehicles made in Korea. This is a very important moment and I hope it will be a leap forward for Korea's aerospace industry. "

Meanwhile, South Korea is developing its next-generation launch vehicle, KSLV-3, which is expected to debut in 2030. KSLV-3 will be capable of delivering payloads of up to 10 tons to LEO;7 tons to Sun-synchronous orbit;3.7 tons to geostationary transfer orbit; and 1.8 tons to lunar transfer orbit. South Korea plans to launch its own robotic lunar lander by 2032 via KSLV-3.
