Nuri's fifth flight from Naro Space Center placed NEONSAT-2 through 6, South Korea's first mass-produced Earth-observation constellation, into ~575 km sun-synchronous orbit. All five later made two-way contact with healthy solar arrays, power and attitude; nine of ten CubeSats deployed, but Quaternion's PERSAT02 remained attached after its ejection-tube lid failed to open. Hanwha Aerospace built the rocket for this first sequential five-primary mission, Nuri's fourth straight success.
