Korea launches homegrown space rocket DATELINE: June 22, 2022 LENGTH: 00:01:59 LOCATION: Seoul CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of the space rocket launching (courtesy of ROK's Ministry of Science and ICT) STORYLINE: South Korea successfully launched its homegrown space rocket on Tuesday, putting multiple satellites into low-Earth orbit. The Korea Space Launch Vehicle (KSLV)-II, also dubbed Nuri, blasted off from the Naro Space Center in the southern coastal village of Goheung at about 4:00 p.m. local time, live footage from the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) showed. The three-stage space rocket flew past an altitude of 200 km after separating its fairing at about 4:03 p.m., and the third-stage booster engine stopped at 4:13 p.m. as it reached the target altitude of 700 km. The verification satellite and the dummy satellite were separated from the booster at 4:14 p.m. and 4:16 p.m. each.

JAXA's fairing separation and release test for the H3 rocket

On April 17, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) conducted a separation and release test of the fairing (the tip of the rocket) for the new H3 core rocket at Kawasaki Heavy Industries' Harima Works in Harima, Hyogo Prefecture (photo). The fairing is a container that protects the satellite from wind pressure and frictional heat from the air while the rocket flies in the atmosphere. The internal capacity of the satellite is 2.3 times larger than that of the "H2A" 4S model. Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) layers were used for the perimeter panels, and the number of panels assembled was reduced by enlarging each panel to keep costs down.
