“Preparing for Historic Flight: Inside Look at Nuriho’s Launch Process”

◀ Anchor ▶

The Nuriho was transferred to the launch pad this morning and stood tall toward the sky.

And we are preparing for another historic flight tomorrow.

The technicians checked the Nuriho until the end to see if there was anything wrong.

Reporter Dayoung Moon will tell you about the preparation process for Nuriho today.

The guest to go to space, the Nuriho, loaded with 8 satellites, came out of the assembly building at 7:20 this morning and started the day’s schedule.

The destination is the launch pad 1.8 km away.

To minimize the impact, they were loaded horizontally on a special anti-vibration vehicle and moved slowly at the same speed as a person walking.

At 8:54 am, about an hour and a half later, the Nuri arrived at the launch pad and soon began to stand upright with the help of a standing device.

It was not until 11:30 in the morning that Nuriho stood up straight after looking at the sky.

The standing Nuri was tied to the ground anchor of the launch pad, which held the lower part of the Nuri and released it when the engines reached maximum thrust just before launch.

In the afternoon, fuel, propellant, electricity supply facilities, connection work with the ‘umbilical’, and various inspections were conducted to ensure that there are no abnormalities in the navigation system and electrical signal system.

At one point, there was a shower and the work stopped for a while, but it resumed immediately and there were no major problems.

If there is no special problem, fuel and liquid oxygen will be injected into the Nuri in the morning of tomorrow, and the launch management committee will finalize the launch date and time through a meeting in the afternoon.
