  "summary": "The Nuri rocket, on its fifth launch, successfully deployed 14 out of the 15 satellites it carried into their designated orbit on Wednesday. The rocket, launched 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 about two minutes after liftoff, followed by the second stage four and a half minutes into the flight. The Nuri reached an altitude of 570 kilometers around 12:40 p.m. and completed the sequential deployment of five NEONSAT swarm microsatellites, its primary payload, along with nine of the ten CubeSats. However, subsequent checks revealed that PERSAT02, developed by Quaternion, had failed to separate from the rocket. The flight concluded at around 12:45 p.m. after the third stage completed its autopilot sequence.",
