South Korea successfully launched satellites into orbit with its homegrown Nuri rocket, a significant step for the country’s burgeoning space program after a failed attempt last year.

The three-stage rocket, more than 47 meters long and weighing 200 tons, was launched from the Naro Space Center in the country's southern coastal region at 4 p.m. local time. It was topped with five satellites that will carry out Earth observation missions, such as monitoring the atmosphere, for up to two years, as well as a 1.3-ton dummy satellite, according to the country's Science Ministry.

. head Ahn Sang-il has previously said the rocket's success would allow South Korea more autonomy in its space program."In the past, cube satellites were launched using rockets in other countries but from this launch, we'll have an opportunity to load Korean-made cube satellites to a rocket also made in Korea," he told a news briefing in April."We can have our satellites launched according to our own needs and at the right timing for us from this launch.
