The rocket is capable of launching a satellite with a mass of 100 kilograms (220 equivalent-pounds of weight on Earth) into a low-Earth orbit (LEO) of about 300 kilometers (186 miles).
Previous to this launch, all space missions launched by South Korea had been performed with rockets made by other countries and sent into space at foreign space centers.
The rocket’s payload was a South-Korean built satellite designed to monitor Earth’s atmosphere and oceans.
South Korea is now one of nine countries (United States, Russia, Japan, France, China, India, Israel, and Iran) that have launched domestically built satellites from their own country or territories.
