ERJ staff report (DS)

Seoul - A rocket seal made from rubber has arrived in Korea from Russia. The component is a replacement for a seal which is being held responsible for delaying Korea's space programme when it failed delaying the launch of Korea's first space launch last month.

Korea's Ministry of Education, Science and Technology said the launch can take place from around 29 November

Korea's Yonhap News agency said the part arrived in Korea on Saturday and was shipped directly to the Naro Space centre, 480 km to the south, on Sunday.
