South Korea celebrates successful rocket launch

South Korea launched the Naro-1 rocket from a pad in the southwestern coastal village of Goheung on January 30, announcing that they had successfully placed a satellite in orbit for the first time. It was the third satellite launch attempt for the nation and citizens across the country were anxious that it go to plan, as it comes a month after the successful launch of a North Korean rocket. Previous attempts by South Korea in 2009 and 2010 failed to launch and last-minute technical problems forced two recent efforts in October and November to be aborted. The successful launch comes at a time of heightened strain in the Korean peninsula, as it comes a week after North Korea announced that it would conduct a new nuclear test and carry out more rocket launches.
