SEOUL, Oct. 6 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's homegrown Nuri rocket began its journey to the launchpad Tuesday, a day before its scheduled fifth launch, the country's space agency said.

The Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) said the launch team began transporting the rocket at 6 a.m. from the assembly complex to the launchpad at the Naro Space Center in Goheung, about 330 kilometers south of Seoul.

The transportation process is expected to take about 90 minutes, after which the rocket will be erected vertically on the launch platform.

The launch team will then connect the rocket to the umbilical systems, which supply power and other necessary links, and conduct a series of checks in preparation for the injection of fuel and oxidizer.

Preparations at the launchpad are expected to be completed by the end of the day, according to the Korea Aerospace Research Institute.

KASA will convene a launch management committee Wednesday to determine the final launch time after reviewing the rocket's technical readiness, weather conditions and the possibility of collisions with existing space objects.

首尔，10 月 6 日（韩联社）——韩国航天局表示，韩国国产“努里”火箭于周二开始前往发射台，比原计划的第五次发射提前一天。

韩国航天局（KASA）表示，发射团队于早上 6 点开始将火箭从组装厂运送到位于首尔以南约 330 公里的强兴市罗老航天中心的发射台。

运输过程预计需要大约 90 分钟，之后火箭将在发射平台上垂直竖立起来。

发射团队随后会将火箭连接到脐带系统（提供电力和其他必要的连接），并进行一系列检查，为注入燃料和氧化剂做准备。

据韩国航空航天研究院称，发射台的准备工作预计将于当天结束前完成。

韩国航天局将于周三召开发射管理委员会会议，在审查火箭的技术准备情况、天气状况以及与现有太空物体发生碰撞的可能性后，确定最终发射时间。
