South Korea's space program suffered a setback Wednesday when the planned launch of a satellite was postponed due to malfunctioning firefighting equipment.
The two-stage Naro rocket was supposed to blast off in the late afternoon carrying an observation satellite to study global warming and climate change.
The process was halted, however, after fire retardant suddenly sprayed from one of three nozzles set up near the launch pad to extinguish any blaze, said Pyun Kyung-bum, a spokesman at the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.
But the operation was postponed shortly before the scheduled blast-off.
