South Korean rocket launch

The BBC report that the first rocket launch by South Korea has been described by officials as a 'partial success'.

South Korea's two-stage Naro rocket lifted off on Tuesday from an island off the south coast.

According to Science and Education Minster Ahn Byong-man, the satellite it was carrying reached an altitude of 360 km, rather than separating at the intended 302 km.
