China News Service, June 21. According to the latest news from Yonhap News Agency, South Korea's self-developed carrier rocket "World" was launched into space.
Korean media said that the "World" was flying normally, with a flight altitude of 600 kilometers.
Data map: The "World" carrier rocket is erected on the launch pad.
On October 21, 2021, the "World" failed to send the model satellite it carried into the predetermined orbit because the third-stage engine stalled earlier than expected.
This year, the launch was originally scheduled for June 15, but it was delayed due to weather; on the 16th, due to abnormal data, the "World" launch was postponed again.
"World" is a three-stage launch vehicle with a total weight of 200 tons, which can send 1.5-ton satellites to orbits 600 to 800 kilometers above the ground.
