South Korea's first domestically produced space rocket reached its desired altitude on Thursday but failed to deliver a dummy payload into orbit in its first test launch. South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who observed the launch on-site, still described the test as an "excellent accomplishment" that takes the country a step further in its pursuit of a satellite launch program.
