From June 18 to 27, 2025, launch vibration and thermal vacuum tests were completed at the KTL in Jinju, Korea, as part of final pre-launch preparations. SNUGLITE-III is scheduled to launch aboard the Nuri rocket from the Naro Space Center in late November.

The CubeSat features:

  • The first in-orbit demonstration of GPS RTK relative navigation
  • Autonomous rendezvous and docking without propulsion
  • A GPS-based attitude determination system designed for CubeSats

Grateful to take part in this mission advancing the frontiers of CubeSat technology. Still a long road ahead, but each milestone brings us closer to space.
