Nuri's third stage engine premature shutdown possibly due to low oxidizer tank pressure: Experts

누리호 비정상 비행 원인, "3단 산화제 탱크 압력 저하" The third-stage engine of Nuri, shut down prematurely possibly due to low pressure in its oxidizer tank. On Wednesday, the Ministry of Science and ICT along with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute... as well as outside experts... met to discuss the ongoing review of the launch that happened two weeks ago. According to the data so far, pressure in the oxidizer tanks was normal for the first two stage engines... but too low for the third which caused a dip in speed. More details are expected to be released in the coming month. South Korea's first homegrown three stage engine rocket was able to reach its goal of 700 kilometers above Earth's surface... but failed to place a dummy satellite into orbit due to its third stage engine shutting off prematurely. #Nuri #rocket #Aerospace 📣 Arirang News(Facebook) :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Arirang News(Twitter) :   / arirangtvnews   📣 News Center(YouTube) :    / newscenter_arirangtv   2021-11-03, 22:00 (KST)
