Default Nuri--a new scale subject!

Hello All,

South Korea has joined the space club, orbiting its own satellites with its own rocket (see: https://www.youtube.com/results?sea...atellite+launch ), which gives us another scale subject, too! Also:

Until they (KARI, see: https://www.kari.re.kr/kor.do ) really get going with commercial (and contracted, for other countries and companies in them) launches, keeping track of their launches will be easy. They've run a "box-ticking" space program--of sounding rocket and orbital launches--thus far; there's nothing wrong with that (although it reduces the amount of experience-by-doing), but their launch rate has been very low so far. (They have flown fewer than ten sounding rockets [if memory serves], three Naro-1 orbital vehicles [the mostly-Russian vehicle, with a South Korean solid propellant second stage], of which the last one achieved orbit, one suborbital test of their all-indigenous Nuri SLV, its first [failed, although it came fairly close to succeeding] orbital test flight last year, and now yesterday's successful launch--into a Sun-synchronous orbit--of a large flight performance instrumented satellite and four operational CubeSats; upgraded versions of the Nuri vehicle are also in development: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuri_(rocket) - Argh...it's one of those Wikipedia articles that will only open after entering its name, "Nuri (rocket)" [without quotation marks] on the main page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page .)

I hope this information will he helpful.
