The first attempt to launch Naro-1 was conducted on 19 August 2009, but the launch was canceled seven minutes 56 seconds before launch. The second attempt on 25 August 2009 succeeded in taking off from the Naro Space Center. The Khrunichev-built first stage reportedly performed nominally,[17] and the second stage separation took place as expected,[24] but the payload fairing separation system malfunctioned and half of the satellite protective cover stayed bolted to the second stage. The added weight of the remaining fairing caused the rocket to tumble upwards[25] and to be thrown off its nominal course, soaring 20 kilometres (12 mi) above the planned altitude before falling down.[1] The payload (STSAT-2) has reentered the atmosphere and disintegrated.[25]  INFO:  WIKIPEDIA CUTS
