National Gwangju Science Museum, Special Event to Celebrate the Successful 2nd Launch of Nuriho

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The National Gwangju Science Museum will hold a variety of special events with the public to pray for the success of the second launch of Nuriho scheduled for the 15th.

Last October, the Korean launch vehicle Nuriho, which attracted the attention of the public, completed its flight without reaching its final goal. On the 15th, Nuriho, which has been reinforced to address the abnormal flight cause from the first launch, is scheduled for its second launch.

In line with this, the National Gwangju Science Museum will hold a public participation event to pray for the successful second launch of Nuriho from the 14th to the 15th of this month.

At the planning exhibition hall, visitors can enjoy space science technology through experiences such as ▲ making their own Nuriho using materials like paper cups and flying it, ▲ leaving cheering messages for Nuriho's successful launch, and ▲ astronaut photo zones.

On the National Gwangju Science Museum blog, through the online cheering comment event for Nuriho's successful launch, 615 people who leave comments wishing for the success of the launch will be selected to receive coffee coupons and free admission tickets to the science museum.

The video about the history of Korea's space development set up in the exhibition hall allows visitors to see the excellence of Korea's space science technology through the development process of launch vehicles from Korea's first science satellite to Nuriho.

On the day of the launch, at the Imagination Hall, museum staff and visitors will watch the Nuriho launch scene in real time and have time to cheer for the successful launch. After the launch ends, 10 participants will be given souvenirs through a raffle, and anyone can participate.

Deputy Director Jeon Tae-ho said, "I hope that the Korean launch vehicle development project, which has been promoted for the past 10 years, will bear fruit with the successful launch of this Nuriho," and added, "We ask for the public's great interest and support for the big step toward becoming a space science powerhouse."
