PHOTOS: South Korea moves rocket to the launch pad

After floundering on two previous launch attempts, South Korea is gearing up for a third try to orbit its own satellite Friday with a part-Russian, part-Korean rocket. Engineers rolled the 108-foot Korea Satellite Launch Vehicle to the launch pad Wednesday.

Liftoff is set for Friday.
