Aborted Rocket Launch Shows Urgent Need to Develop Own Space Technology
The launch of Korea's first space rocket was halted at the last minute. The Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1, dubbed Naro, was scheduled to lift off at 5 p.m. on Wednesday. The countdown began at 4:45 p.m but with just seven minutes and 56 seconds left on the clock, the blastoff was scrubbed.

The rocket had been set to launch on Wednesday from the Naro space complex, however, the countdown was halted just eight minutes before lift-off. The Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1 (KSLV-1), which has been developed with the help of Russia, is seeking to place in orbit the 100-kilogram Science and Technology Satellite-2 (STSAT-2) satellite. South Korea has already launched 10 indigenously produced satellites on other countries rockets. In April last year, Seoul sent its first astronaut into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket.
