Korea (AKA South Korea) made the first launch of its KSLV-2 rocket this week, this is the first domestically developed orbital class rocket by that nation. The first 2 stages operated correctly, but the third stage shut down early leading to the payload burning up over the Indian Ocean.

Regardless, this is a big step forward for this country's space Program.

Previously Korea developed rockets using Russian technology based on the Angara and RD-151, or launched satellites using other launch providers, but as the nation has grown it has become able to sustain a home grown launch capability.
