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

The Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) said the launch team completed transporting the rocket to the launchpad at the Naro Space Center in Goheung, about 330 kilometers south of Seoul, at 7:30 a.m. after a 90-minute journey from the assembly complex.

The rocket will be erected vertically on the launchpad later in the morning.

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 the 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.
