The Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT, Minister: Lee Jong-Ho) set June 15, 2022 as the second launch date for KSLV-II, also known as Nuri, with reserved launch dates between June 16 and 23. The launch date was designated by the Launch Management Committee, a decision-making body for Nuri launch, after a comprehensive review on technical preparedness and various launch conditions such as weather conditions, space environment, and possibilities of collisions between space objects.

​
A performance verification satellite will be loaded this time onto the space vehicle and a comprehensive drill was conducted on May 19 against possible contingencies and to ensure public safety on the launch date.

​
First Vice Minister Oh Taeseog of Science and ICT said that "Korean researchers and professionals from the industry have made full-fledged efforts to identify and make technical improvement since the first launch of Nuri. Now that I visit the Naro Space Center, looking around the launch site and reported of the performance verification satellite inspection results, I can feel their hard work more than ever."

​
"As we are loading the performance verification satellite onto Nuri this time, which is a first trial to lift off our own satellite independently, the government will also provide an unwavering support to the end," added he.
