South Korea will launch a rocket between Jan. 30 and Feb. 8, after its third attempt last year to put a satellite into orbit failed due to a technical glitch, a government committee said Wednesday.

"The launch date will be decided later depending on weather conditions and other issues," said the science ministry's committee tasked with preparing for the launch of Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1 (KSLV-1).

Two previous attempts to launch the rocket, also known as Naro- 1, ended in failure in 2009 and 2010.

The third launch attempt has been postponed twice, with the authorities citing technical issues.

Russia designed and manufactured the rocket's first stage, while South Korea built its solid-fueled second stage.
