Next Nuri Lancing set for November. The Korea Aerospace Administration completed a revision of the preparations for the next launch of the Nuri Rocket and announced that the vehicle was ready for a window that would open on November 28. The most important load will be a satellite to observe the Aurora and Magnetic Field of the Earth, along with a smaller secondary load.
After a while coming back … The liquid driven Nuri rocket is the first booster to be developed entirely in Korea and has a lift capacity of 3.3 tons of tons to a low earth. The rocket failed during his debut launch in October 2021, but flew successfully in 2022 and 2023. If the rocket is launched in November, the Nuri's first mission will be in two and a half years.

Galactic Energy scores large fundraising round. Galactic Energy, established Galactic Energy in Beijing, has increased the greatest fame of China for a startup of a launch, because the orbital test flights of new rockets are approaching, Space News reports. The company announced Series D financing of 2.4 billion Yuan ($ 336 million) in a statement on Sunday. The financing will be used for the Pallas series of reusable liquid floating gas launchers and the Ceres-2 Solid Rocket, both of which appear near test launches. The investment will also go to related production, testing and launch facilities.
Great financing, large ambitions … Founded in February 2018, Galactic Energy has established a strong report of reliability with its light Ceres-1 solid rocket and previously picked up $ 154 million in C-Round financing in the end of 2023 for his Pallas-1 plans. Pallas-1, a kerosene liquid oxygen rocket, must be able to wear 7 tons of load of 200 km to a track with a low soil of 200 km. New plans for Pallas-2 propose a possibility from 20,000 to 58,000 kg, depending on a single stick or Tri-Core configuration, with an aggressive target of a debut launch in 2026.
Blue Origin wants to reuse the next new Glenn Booster. There is a little driving at the second launch of the new Glenn Rocket from Blue Origin, Ars reports. The most direct, the fate of a NASA science mission to study the top atmosphere of Mars depends on a successful launch. The second flight of the heavy lifter of Blue Origin will send two satellites funded by NASA to the red planet to study the processes that drove the evolution of Mars from a warmer, wetter world to today's cold, dry planet. But there is more on the line. If Blue Origin is planning to launch its first robot -like Moon Lander at the beginning of next year – as is currently in mind – the company must restore the first phase of the new Glenn Rocket.
