0:49Now PlayingSouth Korea announced its successful launch of a commercial-grade satellite for the first time Thursday as part of its growing space development program, as rival North Korea is pushing to place its first military spy satellite into orbit.
The launch will likely assist its efforts to develop a space-based surveillance system.
The domestically built three-stage Nuri rocket lifted off from a launch facility on a southern island with a payload of eight satellites, including a main commercial-grade satellite whose mission is to verify radar imaging technology and observe cosmic radiation in a near-Earth orbit.
South Korean Minister of Science and ICT Lee Jong Ho held a briefing, in which he said that even though the launch was successful, they're awaiting confirmation on whether one of the eight satellites was successfully ejected.
The launch was initially scheduled to take place on Wednesday but was cancelled at the last minute due to a technical problem.
