 South Korea has delayed the planned launch of its first spy satellite set for tomorrow, officials said, days after rival North Korea said it had put its own spy satellite into orbit for the first time.

 Under a contract with Space X, South Korea is to launch five spy satellites by 2025, and its first launch using Space X's Falcon 9 rocket had been scheduled to take place at California's Vandenberg Air Force Bace in the US.

 The South Korean Ministry of National Defense yesterday said in a brief statement that the launch was delayed due to weather conditions.South Korean has no military reconnaissance satellites of its own and partially resorts to using US spy satellites to monitor moves by North Korea.

 在北韓宣稱已首度將其間諜衛星送入軌道數日後，南韓官員表示，決定延後預定明日首次發射間諜衛星的計畫。

 依據太空探索科技公司（Space X）合約，南韓預定在2025年前發射5枚間諜衛星。首次發射將使用Space X公司的「獵鷹9號」載運火箭、並已排定日程在美國加州范登堡空軍基地實施。

 南韓國防部昨日發表簡短聲明表示，由於天候因素將延後實施。南韓本身並無軍事偵察衛星，需要依賴美國間諜衛星監視北韓軍事動向。
