Three out of eight South Korean satellites launched May 25 on the KSLV-2 rocket are currently “out of contact,” according to the science ministry.

They are two 6U cubesats for the SNIPE constellation, developed by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, and JLC-101-v1-2, a 3U cubesat developed by Justek.

The announcement came about 14 hours after the rocket lifted off from the Naro Space Center.

The other five satellites that have established contact with the ground are NEXTSat-2, a 180-kilogram technology demonstration satellite; two cubesats for the SNIPE constellation; LUMIR-T1, a 6U cubesat developed by Lumir; and KSAT3U, a 3U cubesat developed by Cairo Space.

“We are doing our best to establish contact with the three,” the ministry said in a May 26 statement. “We will do our best to ensure that the remaining satellites will be able to communicate and fulfill their missions.”
