The Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1, South Korea's satellite-carrying rocket, is set into an upright position at a launch pad at the Naro Space Center in Goheung, some 480km south of Seoul, later today (Jan. 28, 2013), two days before the country is expected to launch the rocket also known as Naro-1. The upcoming launch will be the country's third attempt to send a space rocket into space from its own soil. Its two earlier rocket launch attempts in 2009 and 2010 ended in failures and its third rocket launch was postponed twice last year, according to a report of South Korean news agency "Yonhap."
