[Photo] Nuriho Takes Flight

The Korean launch vehicle Nuriho (KSLV-II) is seen powerfully soaring with flames erupting from the No. 2 launch pad at Naro Space Center in Goheung County on the 21st. Nuriho is a three-stage launch vehicle designed to deploy a 1.5-ton class practical satellite into low Earth orbit (600?800 km), and it is the first domestically produced launch vehicle completed entirely with Korean technology, from engine design to manufacturing, testing, and launch operations. / Goheung = Joint Photo Coverage Team
