All nine satellites carried as rideshare payloads on the fifth launch of South Korea's Nuriho space rocket have successfully established communication, according to the Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA).
KASA confirmed that communication was achieved with each of the nine satellites deployed from the rocket's rideshare section. The announcement was published on the agency's official notice board, accompanied by launch-related photographs.
The fifth Nuriho mission carried the nine satellites as secondary payloads alongside the main mission objective. Contact with all nine marks the completion of the post-deployment communication sequence.
The KASA notice did not specify individual satellite operators, orbital parameters, or the timeline of each contact beyond the confirmation that all nine rideshare satellites had communicated successfully.
Further mission assessments from the Ministry of Science and ICT and related agencies were not included in the published notice.
The claim that all nine rideshare satellites aboard Nuriho's fifth launch succeeded in communication is true.
Verdict: True
