South Korea successfully launched its KSLV-2 rocket carrying eight satellites early Thursday. The rocket lifted off from the Naro Space Center at 5:24 am EDT (0924 GMT) and South Korean officials later confirmed the launch was a success. The rocket's primary payload was a smallsat called Nextsat-2, with seven cubesats also on board. At least one of the cubesats failed to deploy after launch, however. The launch is the second successful launch of the rocket, also known as Nuri, after a failed inaugural launch in 2021.
