South Korea's upcoming Nuri rocket launch will be the country's first multi-satellite constellation deployment from domestic soil, with 15 satellites including 5 NEONSAT microsatellites and 10 university CubeSats, marking the first time a commercial company, Hanwha Aerospace, has full operational control over a Korean government launch vehicle amid a global satellite thruster shortage.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Government & Space.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Hanwha Aerospace now runs Korea's government rocket launch fully, opening new routes for commercial space firms to lead national programs. You need to prepare for tighter supply chains and manage risks as satellite thruster shortages reshape launch schedules.
