South Korea Successfully Launches Multiple Satellites with Homegrown Rocket Technology

South Korea's KSLV-2 rocket successfully launched seven satellites, including one equipped with synthetic aperture radar, into sun-synchronous orbit. However, one cubesat is believed to have not deployed properly. The primary payload, named NEXTSat-2, exchanged signals with a ground station in Antarctica, and the six others are expected to follow suit in the coming hours. South Korea plans to conduct three more KSLV-2 launches through 2027 to improve the rocket's technical reliability.
