The Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1 or Naro, is launched at Naro Space Center in Goheung, about 480 km south of Seoul on Wednesday. The Republic of Korea launched its first space rocket carrying a science satellite amid heightened regional tensions, caused in part by Pyongyang's successful launch of its own rocket last month.
