South Korea's space agency has begun the final assembly of the Nuri-1 (Korean launch vehicle) ahead of its fourth launch, scheduled tentatively for Oct 27 at 00:55. Engineers at Naro Space Center in Goheung completed the integration of the rocket's first three stages and are conducting inspections of upper-stage join sections and internal systems. The vehicle will be transported to the launch pad on Oct 25 for erection and final setup; a launch readiness review on Oct 26 will confirm the exact launch time after weather and preparation checks. The payloads include the main next-generation medium satellite No.3 and 12 secondary CubeSats (cube-shaped small satellites), and participating organizations' logos are displayed on the rocket's exterior.
