Russia’s Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center says the first stage of the Naro-1 space rocket will be transported to South Korea shortly.

The Russian space center said the first-stage rocket will be sealed in a container Thursday night and moved to the southern city of Ulyanovsk by train.

From there, it will travel to Busan by air before arriving at the Naro Space Center in Goheung, South Jeolla Province.

In line with a bilateral agreement signed in 2004, Russia is responsible for manufacturing the first stage of the Naro rocket, while South Korea is in charge of producing the second-stage rocket and the satellite that will be launched into space on Naro.
