韓國發射衛星成功大綱

South Korea says it has successfully launched a satellite into space - a major feat that comes just weeks after its neighbor North Korea did thesame.

The Korea Space Launch Vehicle lifted off Wednesday disappearing into the sky above the Naro Space Center on the country's southern coast.

Science Minister Lee Ju-ho told reporters that the rocket successfully placedthe satellite into orbit, declaring the mission "a success of all our people.

It took three tries for South Korea to successfully carry out the mission. In 2009, a rocket achieved orbit, but the satellite did not deploy. A year later, the rocket exploded just two minutes after liftoff. More recent attempts were called off at the last minute.

Wednesday's launch comes just a month after North Korea successfully sent what it said was a weather satellite into space. The move was widely condemned by the international commUnity as a violation of United Nations sanctions.韓國表示，韓國成功地將一顆衛星送入太空。就在韓國的鄰國朝鮮於數星期前將一顆衛星送入軌道後，這是首爾的一個重大勝利。

星期三，韓國太空發射器在位於韓國南部海岸的羅老太空中心發射升空。

韓國教育科學技術部長官李周浩對記者說，這枚火箭成功地將衛星送入軌道，並宣稱這項使命“是我國全體人民的勝利”。

韓國先後三次發射火箭，終於成功地將衛星送入軌道。2009年，韓國火箭抵達軌道，但衛星沒有進入位置。一年後，韓國火箭在升空兩分鐘後爆炸。此後還有幾次火箭發射計劃，但在最後時刻取消。

星期三就在韓國這次發射火箭的一個月前，朝鮮成功地將其所稱的一枚氣象衛星送入太空。朝鮮的這一舉動遭到國際社會的廣泛譴責，因爲違反了聯合國禁止朝鮮進行彈道導彈試驗的制裁。
