Nuri-launched Daejeonsat-1 Succeeds in Communication on 6th Attempt, Confirmed Normal Operation

The ultra-small cube satellite "Daejeonsat-1," which headed into space aboard the 5th launch of the Nuri rocket, has dramatically succeeded in two-way communication with its ground station.

The Daejeon Metropolitan City government announced that following its 6th communication attempt at 11:20 PM yesterday (October 8), Daejeonsat-1 successfully exchanged signals in its 7th communication attempt at 12:46 AM today.

Previously, Daejeonsat-1 failed in five consecutive communication attempts due to radio interference and ground station noise, raising concerns. However, it has now been confirmed that the satellite's major systems, including its battery and attitude control, are all operating normally.

Jointly developed by five aerospace companies in the Daejeon region utilizing core technologies, Daejeonsat-1 is scheduled to embark on full-scale missions such as Earth observation after completing additional status checks.
