[Photo] 'Towards Space... Nuriho Launch'

The Korean launch vehicle Nuriho (KSLV-II) is seen powerfully soaring with flames erupting from the second 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 (600~800km), and it is the first domestically produced launch vehicle completed entirely with domestic technology, from engine design to manufacturing, testing, and launch operations. / Goheung = Joint Photo Coverage Team
