The third-stage engine shut down 46 seconds early and therefore could not release the 1500-kg payload at orbital speed. Nuri lifted off an hour later than planned as the 47.2-m rocket’s valves had to be examined.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2020/02/arianespace-orbits-two-satellites-jcsat-17-and-geo-kompsat-2b-to-support-connectivity-and-environmental-monitoring-in-asia/ Thu, 20 Feb 2020 06:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=19656 On Tuesday, 18 February  2020 at 22:18 UTC (Universal Time Coordinates), Arianespace successfully launched two satellites using an Ariane 5 rocket from the Guiana Space Centre (CSG), Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana:]]> https://spacewatch.global/2020/01/south-koreas-chollian-2b-environmental-satellite-to-launch-in-february-2020/ Thu, 09 Jan 2020 06:00:45 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=18487 South Korean environmental monitoring and oceanographic satellite Chollian-2B is expected to be launched on board an Arianespace Ariane-5 satellite launch vehicle from the Guiana Space Centre on 18 February 2020, according to the South Korean Ministry of Science and Information Communication Technology.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2020/01/south-koreas-kai-to-build-three-remote-sensing-satellites-by-2025/ Tue, 07 Jan 2020 06:00:16 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=18374 South Korean news agency Yonhap reported on 31 December 2019 that South Korea's largest aerospace company, the Korea Aerospace Industries Co.
