HD Hyundai Heavy Industries contributed to the success of the fifth launch of the Korean Space Launch Vehicle Nuri (KSLV-II) by stably operating the "launch pad system."

On the 7th, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries supported pre-launch inspections and tests, as well as the operation of the launch pad system, for the fifth Nuri launch.

Ahead of this launch, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries repaired key facilities that had been exposed to flames and high temperatures during the fourth launch process, including the launch pad and the vehicle hold-down device (VHD), and inspected various sensors and control and instrumentation equipment to verify the overall performance and soundness of the launch pad system.

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is expanding its capabilities in launch pad design, manufacturing, construction, and operation, accumulated through the Naro and Nuri projects, to the Next-Generation Launch Vehicle (3rd generation) project. In September last year, it was selected as the preferred negotiation partner for the "Detailed Design Technical Service for the Next-Generation Launch Vehicle Launch Pad System" by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute. The next-generation launch vehicle is planned to be developed with a height of approximately 70.8 meters and a weight of approximately 530.6 tons.

An HD Hyundai official, in a phone interview with this outlet, said, "Through the success of the fifth Nuri launch, we have once again demonstrated the stability and operational capability of the launch pad system built with our own technology. We will contribute to the development of South Korea's space industry."
