The launch of Korea's homegrown space rocket, dubbed Naro, will proceed as planned on Friday.

The rocket was transported to the launch pad on a customized vehicle designed to minimize vibrations on Thursday.

At around 3 p.m. it was successfully connected to the launch pad via a cable mast, which provides electricity and fuel to the rocket body.

The Korea Aerospace Research Institute started rehearsing a final check on the rocket in order not to repeat the last two failures.
