Nation becomes 7th in world to put satellite into orbit

위성 궤도 올린 세계 7번째 ‘우주 강국'


By Baek Byung-yeul

Korea reached a milestone of becoming one of the world's space powerhouses, Tuesday, as the nation succeeded in launching its first-ever locally-developed rocket into space in its second liftoff attempt, according to the science ministry.
화요일 한국이 두 차례 시도만에 첫 독자 개발 로켓의 우주 발사에 성공하면서 세계 우주 강국 중 하나가 되는 새로운 이정표를 썼다고 과학기술정보통신부가 전했다.


The Nuri, also known as Korean Space Launch Vehicle II (KSLV-II), successfully placed a 1.3-ton dummy satellite and a 162.5-kilogram performance verification satellite into a low orbit of 700 kilometers above the Earth, the ministry said.
‘한국형발사체(KSLV-II)'라고도 알려진 누리호는 1.3톤 규모의 위성 모사체(더미 위성)와 162.5kg의 성능검증위성을 지구 상공 700㎞ 저궤도(600~800km)에 성공적으로 안착시켰다.


"Nuri, which was launched at 4 p.m. today, was put into target orbit and successfully separated and placed the performance verification satellite in orbit," Lee Jong-ho, minister of Science and ICT, said during a briefing at Naro Space Center in Goheung, 473 kilometers south of Seoul.
이종호 과학기술정보통신부 장관은 서울에서 남쪽으로 473km 떨어진 고흥 나로우주센터에서 브리핑을 열고 "오늘 오후 4시 발사된 누리호가 목표궤도에 투입돼 성능검증위성을 성공적으로 분리하고 궤도에 안착시켰다"고 말했다.


"We announce the success of Nuri, a locally-developed space launch vehicle. The skies over Korea have opened wide. The country has made great progress in science and technology," the minister added.
이 장관은 "국내에서 개발한 우주발사체 누리호의 성공을 발표한다. 대한민국의 하늘이 활짝 열렸다. 대한민국 과학기술이 위대한 전진을 이뤘다"고 덧붙였다.


The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) launched the Nuri space rocket at 4 p.m. According to the flight sequence, the first engine, second engine and the pairing separated before the rocket's third engine stopped at 4:13 p.m. to reach a target altitude of 700 kilometers.
한국항공우주연구원은 이날 오후 4시 우주로켓 누리호를 발사했다. 비행 순서에 따르면 오후 4시 13분 로켓의 세 번째 엔진이 멈추기 전에 1단 엔진, 페어링(위성 덮개)과 2단 엔진이 분리돼 700km의 목표 고도에 도달했다.


The rocket separated from the performance verification satellite at 4:14 p.m. and the dummy satellite detached at 4:16 p.m. KARI's satellite control center then announced that Nuri successfully communicated with the King Sejong research station in Antarctica around 40 minutes after liftoff.
누리호는 오후 4시 14분에 성능검증위성을 분리했고 위성 모사체는 오후 4시 16분에 분리했다. 이후 한국항공우주연구원 위성관제센터는 누리호가 이륙한 지 약 40분 만에 남극 세종기지와 통신에 성공했다고 밝혔다.


With the successful launch, Korea became the seventh country in the world to launch a space rocket using domestically developed technology following Russia, the United States, France, China, Japan and India to place an over 1-ton satellite into orbit.
이번 발사 성공으로 한국은 러시아, 미국, 프랑스, 중국, 일본, 인도에 이어 세계 7번째로 독자 기술로 우주로켓을 발사해 1톤이 넘는 위성을 궤도에 안착시킨 국가가 됐다.
