The Science Ministry said the rocket will blast off from the country's space launch center on a southern island on May 24.
A ministry statement said it had set a backup launch date from May 25-31, in case of possible schedule changes due to weather.
The rocket will carry one main satellite called "Next Generation Small Satellite 2" and seven other smaller cube-shaped satellites. The main satellite is tasked with verifying imaging radar technology and observing cosmic radiation in near-Earth orbit, the statement said. Authorities have completed the assembly of the rocket's first and second stages and are conducting final environmental tests of the eight satellites that are to be placed on the rocket's third stage.
