The third launch of Nuri has been rescheduled to liftoff at 6:24 p.m. Thursday, the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute announced Thursday.
Initially scheduled to launch on Wednesday at 6:24 p.m., its delay was announced two hours before the planned liftoff due to a glitch in the communication system.
The glitch was discovered in the control system for a helium pressure release valve in the launch system and does not directly involve the rocket itself, according to the ministry and KARI.
