South Korea Scrubs Launch

South Korea Scrubs Launch

South Korea scrubbed the launch of its KSLV-1 (Naro-1) launch vehicle today after the launch pad’s fire extinguisher system activated about three hours before the scheduled liftoff according to Yonhap News Service. All three fire extinguishers released liquid. None of it reportedly reached the launch vehicle although technicians are checking to see if any leaked under the pad. Until the investigation of what happened and why is completed, a new launch date cannot be set, said the news service.
