The rocket, which took off from the Naro Space Center in Goheung, Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City at 12:25 p.m., completed its approximately 20-minute flight by around 12:45 p.m. The rocket's first stage separated two minutes after liftoff, followed by the second stage four and a half minutes into the flight. At around 12:40 p.m., the rocket reached an altitude of 570 kilometers and completed the sequential deployment of its primary payload, five NEONSAT swarm microsatellites, and 10 CubeSats. The flight concluded at around 12:45 p.m. following the third stage's autopilot sequence. Korea Aerospace Administration (KASA) Administrator Oh Tae-seog confirmed that the Nuri rocket reached its intended orbit according to the planned flight sequence, with all five NEONSAT swarm microsatellites separated in the intended order.",
