[Photo] Test launch of KSLV-II rocket to be delayed

The KSLVI-II, South Korea’s second carrier rocket, was originally scheduled for a test launch on Oct. 25. On Oct. 18, however, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute and the Ministry of Science and ICT announced that the launch will be delayed due to disruptions in the inspection process and mechanical problems. A ministry official said that abnormalities had been detected in the rocket propellant pressurization system. The KSLVI-II is the first space vehicle to be developed and built entirely within South Korea. (provided by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute)
