Ho Lam Kerman Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Cool. I saw an entry "KSLV-2 TLV" on watchrockets.com, and I was wondering where the video was. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insert_name Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 The test flight of KSLV2 "Nuri" failed to reach orbit after the 3rd stage shut down 46 seconds too early https://spaceflightnow.com/2021/10/21/south-korean-rocket-fails-to-reach-orbit-on-inaugural-test-flight/ As far as first launches go, I feel like this went fairly well compared to some of the other new entrants who didn't get to stage separation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, 30% is for "flies / explodes / stays and nothing happens". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunlitZelkova Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Second test of the solid fuel launch vehicle. It was visible across Korea and Japan, and reportedly caused widespread UFO reporting in both countries. https://m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20221230008753325?section=national/defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
