Doha: South Korea postponed a plan to launch a solid-fuel space rocket on Tuesday due to safety reasons, the defense ministry said. The Mir rocket, designed for monitoring and exchanging high-resolution satellite imagery, boasts an innovative structure with four advanced propulsion stages capable of delivering precise payloads into low Earth orbit.

According to Qatar News Agency, under the Mir program, South Korea's defense ministry plans to domestically deploy up to 60 small satellites into space by 2030. This initiative aims to reduce the time required for monitoring and updating space-based data to just thirty minutes. The ministry reaffirmed that a new launch date will be determined after all systems are reviewed and the technical malfunction is resolved.
