The rocket lifted off from Naro Space Center on the southern coast of South Korea at 4 p.m. . A 162.5-kg satellite designed to verify the rocket's performance successfully made contact with a base station in Antarctica after entering orbit, officials said.
It uses only Korean rocket technologies, and is the country's first domestically built space launch vehicle. South Korea’s last booster, launched in 2013 after multiple delays and several failed tests, was jointly developed with Russia. Engineers adjusted the helium tank inside Nuri's third-stage oxidizer tank to address that problem, Yonhap news agency reported.
After Tuesday's successful launch, the U.S. Embassy in Seoul said on Twitter it is looking forward to U.S.-South Korea cooperation in space.
