South Korea's new domestically developed observational satellite will be launched into space from Kazakhstan in March. 

The Ministry of Science and ICT said on Friday that the midsized satellite is scheduled to be launched from the space facility Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 5:07 p.m. on March 20, Korea time.
 
The ministry said the satellite has departed from the Korea Aerospace Research Institute in Daejeon and is set to arrive at the Kazakh space center on Sunday.  

The 500-kilogram low Earth orbit satellite is scheduled to be launched on Russia's Soyuz 2.1a rocket after checkups and preparations.

Once in orbit, the satellite is expected to start providing high-precision observation videos of the Earth from June.
