The Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1 (KSLV-1) or Naro-1, South Korea's first space rocket, is launched from its launch pad at the Naro Space Centre in Goheung, 485 km (301 miles) south of Seoul, August 25, 2009. South Korea on Tuesday launched its first space rocket, a move that would be watched warily by reclusive North Korea, after halting last week's countdown minutes before lift-off. The satellite is designed to monitor the Earth's radiant energy.
