At 12:25 local time on the 7th (11:25 Beijing time), the "World" was launched from the Naro Space Center in Gaoke County, Jeollanam-do, South Korea, and subsequently sent 5 earth observation satellites and 10 cubesats into predetermined orbits. According to the Korea Aerospace Administration, South Korea plans to build an earth observation satellite constellation NEONSAT consisting of 10 satellites. The five earth observation satellites launched this time will complete the constellation network with the five satellites planned to be launched next year. "World" is a three-stage launch vehicle weighing about 200 tons. It can send 1.5-ton satellites to an orbit 600 to 800 kilometers above the ground. "World" was launched for the first time in October 2021, but failed to put the model satellite into the intended orbit. Three launches in 2022, 2023, and 2025 respectively successfully put the satellites into orbit.
