South Korea has launched its first domestically developed space rocket but failed to put its dummy payload into orbit, a setback in the country's attempts to join the ranks of advanced space-faring nations.
After its Starship rocket exploded minutes after lift-off last month, SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon Heavy rocket on Sunday.
NASA launched the most powerful rocket ever built on a journey to the Moon on Wednesday, marking the start of the space agency's new flagship program, Artemis. The 32-story tall Space Launch System (SLS) blasted off from the storied Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 01:47 am (0647 GMT). IMAGES
South Korea's first-ever lunar orbiter is launched from the US on a year-long mission to observe the Moon, with a payload including a new disruption-tolerant network for sending data from space. Danuri -- a portmanteau of the Korean words for "Moon" and "enjoy" -- is carried on a Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida by Elon Musk's aerospace company SpaceX. It aims to reach the Moon by mid-December.
South Korea successfully launches its first domestically-developed space rocket and puts a dummy satellite into orbit. It is the country's second attempt after a launch in October failed.
