South Korea Scrubs Rocket Launch

Reuters is reporting that South Korea has scrubbed its planned launch of its KSLV rocket:

South Korea scrapped plans to launch a scientific satellite into orbit due to a glitch in the fire-extinguishing system on the launch-pad in the latest setback for the country’s space programme.

Last minute checks uncovered malfunctions, Ministry of Science spokesman Phun Kyung-bum told a briefing, adding it was unlikely engineers would resume the countdown on Wednesday. The launch had been scheduled for 2000 NZT.

No word yet on when they would try again.
